Thrust into telehealth practice because of the urgency imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, many Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) are regaining their footing from the forced adoption of telehealth to maintain continuity of care with clients/patients. Future research is needed on implementation and evaluation of the competencies. Additionally, considerations for other behavioral health professions regarding licensure, certification, and policy may apply to clinical social work. This competency framework can also be used to integrate clinical social work professional development, research, and training. The TBH competencies support existing in-person clinical practices and are intended for trainees and practitioners who are implementing TBH in practice. The framework outlines three competency levels (novice, proficient, and authority) covering 49 specific objectives and 146 measurable competencies or practices. It has seven competency domains: (1) clinical evaluation and care (2) virtual environment and telepresence (3) technology (4) legal and regulatory issues (5) evidence-based and ethical practice (comprised of Standards and Guidelines and Social Media) (6) mobile health and apps and (7) telepractice development. This framework was developed by the Coalition for Technology in Behavioral Science (CTiBS), initially published in 2017. This article applies an evidence- and consensus-based, interprofessional telebehavioral health (TBH) competency framework to the field of social work. By developing telebehavioral health competencies, the 250,000 + LCSWs in the US can ensure and enhance the quality of care both during and after the COVID public health emergency (PHE).
