Why should SLPs cut out the middleman and start a telepractice private practice?
Starting a private practice isn't what it used to be. Today's clinicians are starting private practices much quicker, easier, and cheaper than before. And they aren't guessing their way through it or getting stuck in analysis paralysis. They're following a tried and true roadmap in order to save time, money, and frustration. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel or struggle to figure out how to start a private practice on your own. We've helped thousands of SLPs and OTs through this process, and now we wanna help you too. For a limited time, I'm offering a free copy of our Private Practice Roadmap, specifically for SLPs and OTs who are curious about private practice and want to see what the journey looks like.

Before COVID, only a handful of speech-language pathologists were offering telepractice, either through their private practices, a company, or by contracting with telepractice companies for a few extra bucks. And I say a few extra bucks because that's basically what they pay. But what if you could cut out the middleman and see your own telepractice clients through your private practice? That is what today's episode is all about.
How do business licensing and legal setup differ for telepractice vs. in‑person practices?
So stay tuned. I'm Jenna Castro-Casbon, speech language pathologist, business coach, and creator of the Start Your Private Practice system. And I'm on a mission to turn stuck SLPs into successful private practitioners. If you're tired of dealing with high productivity requirements, high caseload sizes, and low pay, It's time to take control of your professional, personal, and financial life and finally get the freedom, flexibility, and financial abundance that you deserve by working with private clients in your own practice. Join me here each week as I share tips, best practices, and inspirational interviews on the Private Practice Success Stories podcast. If you're a private practitioner or one in the making, you're in the right place, so let's get started.
When the pandemic started, our entire profession switched to telepractice overnight. Some people love it and want to be able to continue to work from home and see clients via telepractice. And some people hate it and prefer to do in-person clinical care. Those who love telepractice are trying to find ways to continue to do it for the flexible schedule, being able to work from home and see clients that you normally wouldn't be able to see otherwise because of geography. I'm in a lot of Facebook groups, and I see people all the time who ask, which telepractice company is the best to work for? And I usually comment, yours. You see, when you work for a telepractice agency, they take a huge cut in leading you with peanuts.
You don't get much or any control over which clients you see, and while the hours may be flexible, depending on what they have available, you are still at their mercy. Instead, why not start your own private practice, either full-time or on the side, that offers telepractice as the primary or additional service delivery model?
What are the key licensing and insurance considerations for a nationwide teletherapy practice?
Remind yourself of this one thing the next time you get a call from a recruiter trying to reel you into a lowball offer as a work-from-home teletherapist. Starting your own private practice that offers teletherapy is a lot easier and cheaper than you think. In fact, starting a telepractice-based private practice isn't really any different than starting a regular private practice. Whenever I mention private practice, a lot of people envision a brick-and-mortar office with decked-out offices and clinic rooms. But private practice can also look like a computer monitor or two computer monitors if you want that extra visual office space. It's easy to get stuck thinking that going through a telepractice agency is the only way to see clients via teletherapy, particularly when considering the different state licensing requirements when it comes to this healthcare delivery model.
Whether you're starting a practice that conducts in-person visits only, virtual visits, or a mix of both,
