What PSYPACT Means for Clients

PSYPACT stands for the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact.

In plain language, it allows authorized licensed psychologists to provide telepsychology across participating states without needing a separate license in every state.

This means you may be able to work with Dr. Jeanne Layne online even if you are not located in Michigan.

For clients trying to find a PSYPACT therapist, this can make specialized care more accessible — especially when local options do not offer the clinical depth or experience needed for complex trauma, treatment-resistant patterns, PTSD, or high-acuity emotional work.

Why Virtual Therapy Works

Virtual therapy can offer consistency, privacy, and access to specialized care without requiring travel.

For many clients, working from a familiar environment can support safety and regulation — especially when the work involves complex trauma, PTSD, somatic awareness, moral injury, or experiences that require careful pacing.

Online therapy is not lesser care.

When the therapeutic relationship is strong and the work is clinically grounded, virtual therapy can provide a steady container for meaningful treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PSYPACT therapist and how do I find one?

A PSYPACT therapist is a licensed psychologist authorized to provide telepsychology across participating PSYPACT states. To find a PSYPACT therapist, look for a licensed psychologist with PSYPACT authorization and clinical experience that matches your needs.

Which states are covered by PSYPACT?

PSYPACT includes many participating states and jurisdictions. As of 2026, this includes 42 U.S. jurisdictions: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Summit confirms state eligibility during the consultation process, as participation and requirements can change.

Can I see an out-of-state therapist online legally?

In many cases, yes — if the psychologist is authorized through PSYPACT and you are located in a participating state. PSYPACT creates a legal pathway for eligible psychologists to provide telepsychology across state lines.

Is PSYPACT the same as telehealth?

No. Telehealth is the method of care delivered online. PSYPACT is the interstate agreement that allows authorized psychologists to provide telepsychology across participating states.

Can I use PSYPACT therapy if I move to a different state?

Possibly. If you move to another PSYPACT-participating state, therapy may be able to continue. State eligibility should be confirmed before or during any move.

Does insurance cover PSYPACT therapy?

Summit is a private pay, out-of-network practice. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, Summit can provide a superbill for you to submit for possible partial reimbursement. Coverage may depend on your plan, state, and whether you have met your deductible.

What is the difference between a psychologist and a therapist under PSYPACT?

PSYPACT applies to licensed psychologists, not all therapists. A psychologist has doctoral-level training and must meet PSYPACT authorization requirements to provide telepsychology across participating states.

How do I verify that a therapist is PSYPACT credentialed?

You can ask the psychologist directly about PSYPACT authorization and use official PSYPACT verification resources to confirm current status.

Can military families use PSYPACT therapy when stationed in different states?

In many cases, PSYPACT can support continuity of care for military families located in participating states. Eligibility depends on where the client is physically located at the time of therapy.
