But with telemental health rapidly being accepted as a standard treatment medium for couple and family therapy, there is little guidance about how to supervise clinicians who are engaged in telemental health practice. This paper presents an important step toward increasing the effectiveness of the supervision of therapists who are delivering relational therapies online through the identification of relational competencies unique to this delivery medium. These competencies have been adopted and integrated into a COAMFTE accredited master's degree program that has been providing training in telemental health since 2008. The competencies are described, and supervision strategies that can be utilized and developmentally assessed throughout the program will be detailed.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to Professor Lisa Karr and Professor McArthur Hafen, who are on my graduate committee for providing me with constructive feedback on my research work. My grateful thanks are also extended to Johnna Hjersman and Kimberly Ruiz for their help in doing the data analysis. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the other faculty in the Marriage and Family Therapy program, my cohort, friends and family for their support and encouragement throughout my study.
