To examine counselors' perceptions of their formal preparation for engaging in telemental health (TMH) counseling with the intent of gaining an understanding of their lived experiences.
Semistructured interviews were conducted with seven seasoned counselors who regularly engage in technology-mediated distance counseling.
The results highlighted themes within two emerging categories: the counselor and training/education. Themes related to motivation and specific counselor attributes emerged from the first category and themes of availability, inadequacy, and modality emerged from the second category.
The implications from this study suggest a lack of availability and standardization of effective training on TMH delivery.
This study identifies areas of potential future research related to counselors' preparation experiences as well specific areas of need for TMH training in counseling graduate programs and other natural opportunities.
为了考察咨询师对其参与远程心理健康（TMH）咨询的正式准备情况的看法，旨在了解他们的实际经历。
对七位经常进行技术介导的远程咨询的资深咨询师进行了半结构化访谈。
结果突出了两个新兴类别的主题：咨询师以及培训/教育。与动机和特定咨询师特质相关的主题出现在第一类中，而可用性、不足和模式的主题出现在第二类中。
本研究的启示表明，在提供TMH方面缺乏有效的培训且培训缺乏标准化。
本研究确定了与咨询师准备经历相关的潜在未来研究领域，以及咨询研究生课程和其他自然机会中TMH培训的具体需求领域。
