Therapist Tips for Delivering RT Online

Before You Begin: Tech & Setup

  • Use a secure platform like Zoom (paid plan recommended for privacy)
  • Webcam slightly above eye level – good lighting from the front
  • Background should be calm and distraction-free
  • Good headphones and microphone
  • Fully charge your device and plug in during sessions

First Sessions Online

Your client is inviting you into their world – it’s a privilege. Treat the first session like a home visit. Build rapport before diving deep. Some clients may have transformative sessions right away. Others may need time to feel safe and connected.

  • Allow up to 90 minutes for new clients
  • Assess safety, privacy, and dissociation risk early on
  • Offer warmth, flexibility and clear guidance

Best Practices for Online Resource Therapy

Be Prepared

  • Keep backup contact details (e.g., mobile number)
  • Clarify what to do if tech issues occur mid-session
  • Have a co-therapist or support person on standby if needed for trauma clients

Client Guidelines (Keep It Simple)

  • Find a quiet, private room with stable internet
  • Ensure young children are cared for by someone else
  • Minimise written instructions – build confidence through clarity

Trauma Work & Grounding Online

Adapt your grounding techniques: model butterfly tapping, use visual cues, or invite clients to stand and reorient for Vaded in Confusion work.

RT Tip: Have clients stand up, turn around, and return to the chair (eyes open) to bring Presenting Adult State back online.


Recording Sessions for Supervision

With client consent, Zoom allows easy recording for supervision. Always be transparent. We recommend this in writing form and signed.
