Description

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a steep increase in conducting therapy via telehealth. Past studies have examined the impacts of secondary trauma on therapists conducting sessions in person. The current study proposal aims to assess symptoms of vicarious trauma, measured by the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS), when conducting therapy via telehealth compared to in-person therapy. As the frequency of telehealth counseling increases, so do the compounded impacts of secondary trauma on therapists during a pandemic and the need for further preventative care for therapists as they continue to provide care and services to the public.
