To be a Washington LMHCA do you have to be located IN Washington state? (Telehealth)

Hi all!

I am currently residing in Texas with plans to relocate to Washington state hopefully in about a year. I have read about how with doing telehealth it matters what state the client is in. I’ve checked Washington and Texas telehealth laws and I believe this to be the case.

Is it possible to apply to be an LMHCA in the state of Washington online and do telehealth out of the state of Texas (of course you still need a supervisor and such) I’d rather not do an LPC-I to LPC in Texas and transfer considering I have no plans to stay here.

Thank you!

Edit: I called the Washington DOH and they said it’s good to go :)
