Online Therapy Across PSYPACT States with a Licensed Psychologist

Work with Dr. Katie Carhart a licensed clinical psychologist providing online therapy across multiple states through PSYPACT authorization. I offer secure telehealth therapy for adults, couples and families located in 40+ participating states as well as focused therapy intensives, and ADHD, Autism and AuDHD evaluations. Whether you're looking for a psychologist outside your home state, travel frequently, or have family members living in different states, PSYPACT can make it easier to access specialized care without geographic barriers. My approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming, with specialties including anxiety, trauma, burnout, ADHD and neurodivergence, and nervous system regulation.

Online Therapy in PSYPACT states

I am licensed as a psychologist and authorized to practice across state lines through PSYPACT (Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact). PSYPACT allows licensed psychologists to provide telehealth services to clients located in participating states, without needing separate licenses in each state. Currently there are 43 states that participate in the PSYPACT compact.

​

This means I can work with clients in most U.S. states, as long as they are physically located in a PSYPACT-participating state at the time of service. You can check the PSYPACT map if you'd like to see if PSYPACT is active in your state.

About PSYPACT

PSYPACT is an interstate compact designed to expand access to psychological services across state lines. Psychologists who meet PSYPACT requirements and receive authorization can provide telepsychology to clients located in participating jurisdictions without obtaining a separate psychology license in each state. 

​

For clients, this can make it easier to find a psychologist whose expertise and approach are a good fit rather than limiting your search to providers physically located nearby. It can also help support continuity of therapy during moves, college or graduate school, career transitions, extended travel, or other changes in location.

​

When receiving services under PSYPACT, you must be physically located in a participating PSYPACT jurisdiction at the time of the telehealth session.

Frequently Asked Questions About PSYPACT & Online Therapy

 

What is a PSYPACT therapist or PSYPACT psychologist?

PSYPACT is an interstate compact that allows eligible psychologists with the appropriate authorization to provide telepsychology across participating states and jurisdictions. While people often search for a “PSYPACT therapist,” PSYPACT specifically applies to licensed psychologists. Working with a PSYPACT-authorized psychologist can give you access to care beyond the providers located in your home state.

​

Can I see a psychologist in another state through PSYPACT?

Yes. If you are physically located in a participating PSYPACT state or jurisdiction at the time of your session, you may be able to work virtually with a PSYPACT-authorized psychologist located in another participating state. This can make it easier to find a psychologist whose expertise and approach are a good fit for you rather than limiting your search to providers located nearby.

​

Do you provide online therapy in PSYPACT states?

Yes. I provide online therapy to adults, couples, and adult family members across PSYPACT-participating states. I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, chronic stress, ADHD and neurodivergence, relationship concerns, life transitions, and nervous system dysregulation. I also offer focused therapy intensives for clients who prefer a more concentrated format.

​

Can we do couples or family therapy if we live in different states?

In many cases, yes. PSYPACT can make it possible for couples or adult family members who are physically located in different participating states to work with the same psychologist through telehealth. This can be especially helpful for long-distance couples, adult family members who live in different states, or families navigating moves, caregiving, or other life transitions. Availability depends on where each person is physically located at the time of the session and applicable state requirements.

​

What if I travel frequently for work or spend time in multiple states?

PSYPACT can make online therapy more accessible for people whose lives regularly take them across state lines. If you travel frequently for work, divide your time between multiple homes, attend school in another state, or otherwise spend significant time away from your primary residence, you may be able to continue meeting with the same psychologist while you are in participating PSYPACT states. Your physical location at the time of each session determines whether I can provide care.

​

Can I continue seeing the same psychologist if I move to another state?

Often, yes. One benefit of working with a PSYPACT-authorized psychologist is greater continuity of care when life takes you across state lines. If you relocate to another participating PSYPACT state, it may be possible to continue therapy with the same psychologist rather than starting over with a new provider, depending on the requirements that apply in your new location.

​

Do you offer ADHD, autism, and AuDHD evaluations through PSYPACT?

I offer comprehensive adult ADHD, autism, and AuDHD evaluations through telehealth in states where I am authorized to provide those services. Evaluations are designed for adults seeking greater diagnostic clarity, including women and high-masking or high-functioning adults whose neurodivergence may have been overlooked or misunderstood earlier in life. Because requirements can vary by state, we can confirm whether a telehealth evaluation is available based on your location.
