CAMFT has developed this Chart to provide information for LMFTs who are interested in offering marriage and family therapy services via telehealth to clients located in another jurisdiction.  \nThis information was updated in December 2025 and is for educational purposes only. CAMFT strongly emphasizes the importance of LMFTs independently verifying the information and/or consulting with independent legal counsel. As states’ laws and regulations are subject to continual change, CAMFT cannot guarantee the completeness, currency, or accuracy of the information contained herein. Please contact the licensing board directly for more information about their out-of-state telehealth laws.  \n*WARNING*: Associates will need to verify with the state licensing board if they view their “registration” as equivalent to a license before proceeding. It is strongly recommended that associates check with the supervisors/employers as to any relevant policies.  \nThose interested in learning more about full licensure should view CAMFT’s California License Portability Charts. CAMFT does not provide feedback about the licensure requirements of other states and will be unable to assist further with an out-of-state application. Contact information, laws, applications, and additional resources for each state’s MFT licensing board are provided in case the LMFT needs further assistance.  \nCopyright © 2025 California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
