Kym Tolson The Traveling Therapist

Hi! I'm Kym Tolson! As a therapist turned digital nomad, I've transformed my passion for travel into an exhilarating lifestyle, living in Airbnbs across the globe. My journey has led me to create "Bill Like A Boss," a thriving community where insurance-based therapists can learn and elevate their practices and the Portable Practice Method, a comprehensive course designed to support therapists juggling work and travel. Recently, I've created the Clinical AI Club, a platform dedicated to exploring the intersection of AI and running a private practice. Here, we delve into the potential of AI in enhancing therapeutic practices, offering a space for therapists to learn, grow, and adapt to the evolving digital landscape. I'm thrilled to guide you in embracing your dreams and making a positive impact, no matter where in the world you may be. Let's embark on this incredible adventure together!

90% of therapists I speak to worry about this exact situation when they think about running an 90% of therapists I speak to worry about this exact situation when they think about running an online practice. 😓 If you’re a traveling therapist, this will happen eventually. The key is having a backup plan ready. Here’s what’s saved me (more than once!): • Always have a mobile hotspot ready • Test the WiFi at the time you’ll actually be working • Keep a backup meeting link or phone session option for clients • Know a nearby coworking space or private library room just in case • Choose Airbnbs with strong internet (Starlink, fiber, or ask for a speed test) Remote work gives incredible freedom, and a little preparation just makes it less stressful. 🌎💻 #remoteworking #therapist #WFH #privatepractice https://www.youtube.com/shorts/E9eQS2Nlhag via Kym Tolson The Traveling Therapist https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtl3vKTF9lo4MqQHFUc5j8Q March 13, 2026 at 03:30AM

At the beginning of my career as a therapist, I was determined to help as many people as possible, At the beginning of my career as a therapist, I was determined to help as many people as possible, and I thought the best way to do that was to work long hours and see as many clients as possible. But over time, I became burnt out, underpaid, and tired. I was working 40-50 hours a week and felt like I wasn’t making a real difference in anyone’s life including my own! I had lost sight of why I became a therapist in the first place. One day, I decided to take a step back and evaluate my life. I realized that my dream of helping others had become a nightmare, and I knew that I needed to make a change. I began to research alternative ways to see my clients and truly live the life I wanted to live. I took a course to become an online therapist, thank you, (2018 cohort). Initially, I was skeptical, will this work? Well, it worked great! Then, could I possibly travel the world and still see clients the same way? As I delved deeper into the world of being a traveling therapist, I realized that it was possible. I started by researching licensure requirements in different states and found that some states had reciprocity agreements with my home state, which made it easier to obtain licensure. I also looked into my state board and their telehealth policy, which allowed me to see clients from anywhere in the world because my state only cared where the client was located at the time of the session. After careful planning and preparation, I took the plunge and started my journey as a traveling therapist/full-time digital nomad. And let me tell you, it was the best decision I ever made! I have been able to travel the world and still see clients, all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I have rediscovered my passion for helping others, and I wake up every day excited to see what new adventures await me. Ready to be a traveling therapist?

Gulf Shores, Alabama! White sandy beaches 🏖️ Explore Gulf State Park 🌳 Family fun at Adventure Gulf Shores, Alabama! White sandy beaches 🏖️ Explore Gulf State Park 🌳 Family fun at Adventure Island 🎢 Wharf Entertainment District 🛍️🎶 Wildlife at Bon Secour Refuge 🐦🐢 Deep-sea fishing adventures 🎣 Scrumptious seafood at countless eateries 🦀🍽️ Hey y’all! 🌞🌴 we just spent a month Gulf Shores, Alabama! It was amazing waking up to breathtaking beach views every morning in our cozy Airbnb, which was literally RIGHT on the beach! The ocean’s crystal-clear water was nothing short of breathtaking. Now, the WiFi was another story. It was spotty and we actually had to ask for a partial refund because reliable WiFi was promised to us when we booked the place. But hey, who needs WiFi when you’re surrounded by natural beauty, right? 🏝️🌅 I did! Unfortunately, working is required to fund the life of a Traveling Therapist. So I found a new best friend - Gulf Shores’ public libraries! They saved the day! We spent our free time strolling along the pristine sands and exploring the Gulf State Park. 🌳🌲 the park had a free bike share and we took a ride around the gorgeous Lake Shelby! 🚴‍♀️🚴 And, of course, we feasted on mouth-watering seafood the entire time we were here. (I think I’m part shrimp now) Now we are off to our next destinations. Over the next few months we are headed to Joshua Tree, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Bend OR, and Yellowstone, and this winter we booked a month in the Dominican Republic!! #GulfShoresGetaway #BeachLife #AlabamaAdventures #TakeMeBackToTheBeach #thetravelingtherapist #digitalnomadlife #weliveinairbnbs #traveldestinations https://www.youtube.com/shorts/byIQ9UhOQtE via Kym Tolson The Traveling Therapist https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtl3vKTF9lo4MqQHFUc5j8Q March 4, 2026 at 08:55PM

ChatGPT Mass Exodus and Switching to Claude There has been a lot of buzz lately about a possible ChatGPT mass exodus, with many people wondering if they should stop using it. Headlines about OpenAI, Anthropic, and government contracts have sparked conversations about switching to Claude and other AI tools. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I break down what is actually happening and share my perspective on whether switching tools is really necessary. I also explain a simple way to move what your AI knows about you so you can easily work across platforms like ChatGPT and Claude. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: - What started the recent ChatGPT controversy, and why people are talking about leaving the platform. - My honest take on using both ChatGPT and Claude instead of choosing just one. - A simple method for switching to Claude by transferring your AI “memory”. - Why creating a brand guide helps any AI understand your business and voice. Mentioned in this episode: - Thera AI Hub: https://ift.tt/Cn26LqT - How to Train Claude if you want to switch: https://ift.tt/8PyzVkM - AI prompt for nonpartisan information: I want a strictly factual, nonpartisan summary of this topic: [INSERT TOPIC]. Follow these rules carefully: Start by briefly stating what is known as fact (verifiable events, dates, direct quotes, official actions). Clearly separate facts from interpretation, speculation, or opinion. Put facts in one section and interpretations/arguments in another. When there is disagreement, neutrally summarize the main arguments from each major side without taking a position. Use neutral, non‑emotional language (no loaded or persuasive wording). Rely primarily on: Official documents and data (laws, court cases, government reports, company statements). Peer‑reviewed research and reputable reference sources. Factual reporting from established outlets. Avoid: opinion columns, editorials, campaign sites, and social media posts except when quoting them as examples. For every important factual claim, provide at least one citation or link so the information can be checked. At the end, add a short “Uncertainties and open questions” section that lists what is not known or where sources conflict. Format the answer with short sections and bullet points so it’s easy to skim.

Being a therapist with a full caseload is supposed to mean financial security… right? But for a lot Being a therapist with a full caseload is supposed to mean financial security… right? But for a lot of therapists, it actually creates more stress. Because when your income depends entirely on one-to-one sessions, things like cancellations, slow seasons, or burnout can quickly affect your finances. In the newest episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I’m joined by Nicole Liloia to talk about why more therapists are starting to build multiple income streams, and why it might be the key to creating real stability and flexibility in your practice. We talk about: ➜ Why a full caseload doesn’t always equal financial security ➜ The biggest myths therapists believe about passive income ➜ Common mistakes therapists make when creating new income streams ➜ The difference between staying busy vs. actually building something sustainable ➜ Smart first steps if you want to diversify your income If you’ve ever felt stuck on the hamster wheel of sessions, cancellations, and constant marketing… this conversation will really resonate. ✨ Want the link to the episode?
