Description
The supervision working alliance is an integral part of the counselor preparation process. Although the stages of supervision may be similar for online counseling programs and face-to-face counseling programs, there are unique barriers to the process of building a quality supervisory alliance via an online forum. Facilitating the therapeutic alliance is the ultimate goal in both forums, so understanding the barriers that are specific to an online forum will be presented along with solutions to those barriers. Participants will have an opportunity to learn how supervision theories address the working alliance and the differences and similarities between building the relationship in-person vs. online. This knowledge will also include solutions to barriers that inhibit the working alliance in an online forum.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will learn the intricacies involved when conducting online supervision.
- Participants will be able to understand common barriers to building a working alliance between supervisor and supervisee in an online environment.
- Participants will be able to describe how supervision theories address the working alliance.
