Texas LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) Jurisprudence Exam

What is required for interactive distance counseling to be used effectively?

1. A. Advanced technology gadgets

2. B. Adherence to board rules and statutes

3. C. Physical closeness between counselor and client

4. D. Approval from the client's family

The correct answer is: B. Adherence to board rules and statutes

Effective use of interactive distance counseling requires adherence to board rules and statutes. Option A is incorrect because advanced technology gadgets are not necessary for distance counseling to be used effectively. While they can enhance the experience, they are not required. Option C is incorrect because physical closeness between counselor and client is not possible in distance counseling. Option D is incorrect because approval from the client's family may not be necessary for distance counseling to be used effectively, as long as the client is willing and able to participate. The most important factor in the effective use of distance counseling is adherence to the rules and regulations set by the board, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the counseling process.
