About the Course

As virtual behavioral health services continue to expand, clinical supervisors are increasingly called to provide effective, ethical, and engaging supervision from a distance. While technology has transformed how supervision is delivered, the fundamental responsibilities of developing clinical competence, fostering professional identity, ensuring client welfare, and serving as gatekeepers to the profession remain unchanged.

This interactive training provides clinical supervisors with practical, evidence-informed strategies for conducting high-quality telesupervision while addressing the unique ethical, legal, and relational challenges of virtual supervision. Participants will explore best practices for establishing a strong supervisory alliance, evaluating supervisee competence, documenting supervision, managing risk, and addressing challenging supervisory conversations online.

Beyond technology and ethics, this training introduces an embodied perspective to telesupervision by examining how supervisors can strengthen attunement, presence, and nervous system awareness, even through a screen. Participants will learn to recognize subtle verbal and nonverbal cues, foster psychological safety, and utilize intentional supervisory presence to deepen learning and support supervisee development.

Through case examples, discussion, and practical application, participants will leave with concrete tools to enhance the quality, effectiveness, and confidence of their virtual supervision practice.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, Ethical, Effective, & Embodied Tele-Supervision: Best Practices for Clinical Supervisors created by Francisca Mix in 2026.
