What's everyone's opinion on full remote positions for telehealth? Considering a position if my company's "plan" we have not been made aware of doesn't alignment with my job interests.

The remote aspect throws me off to. The thought of not having consultation is tough. plus the lack of proper workspace is daunting but I guess it is gaining popularity.
It might be worth your time to give it a shot. I am about to do that too.

I do some teletherapy now, just not exclusively. I'm not looking for private practice but for a company that's 2 hrs away and seeking licensed telehealth. Same state.

I think it's a personal preference. Can you work at home and be as productive as you need to be?
I cannot. I get easily distracted, even in my "office" by all of the things at home that need my attention.
I personally feel that for mental health purposes, fully separating work and home is necessary, but some people are MUCH more productive at home without bosses looking over their shoulders.
Another thing I have considered since I had to work remote in two different jobs, is how much the lack of real human connection matters to me, and to the quality of the work I do.
I don't think there is any one correct answer across the board, but I think there is some data that says working from home can contribute to a decline in mental health and productivity, though I don't recall where I read that so I can't cite the source.

I currently do fully remote with an online company. It has it perks but personally I'm over the 1 on 1 sessions all the time and I'm ready to transition into a director role with doing less therapy each day, so that is the career path I am wanting to transition into now.

It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
