For telehealth, the license has to match where the client is sitting during the session. To see a client located in West Virginia, you need a West Virginia license or a valid compact privilege. See Can Therapists See Telehealth Clients in Another State?
Can you practice in West Virginia through a compact?
- Counseling Compact: West Virginia has enacted the compact but wasn't yet listed as issuing privileges as of October 2026. Until it does, counselors need a West Virginia license.
- PSYPACT: West Virginia participates, so psychologists with PSYPACT authority can practice telepsychology with clients located there.
- Social Work Licensure Compact: West Virginia has enacted it, but the compact isn't issuing multistate licenses yet.
Compact status changes often. See Counseling Compact, PSYPACT, and the Social Work Compact and the Counseling Compact map.
