American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Position
School counselors working in a virtual setting provide a school counseling program through the use of technology and distance (virtual/online/e-learning) counseling with the same standards and adherence to ethics as school counselors working in traditional school settings. School counselors work collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure equity, access and success of all students whether virtual school counseling is offered synchronously or asynchronously.
 
School counselors working in a virtual setting will:

• Adhere to the same ethical guidelines in a virtual setting as school counselors in a face-to-face setting

• Recognize and acknowledge the challenges and limitations of virtual school counseling

• Implement procedures for students to follow in both emergency and nonemergency situations when the school counselor is not available

• Recognize and mitigate the limitation of virtual school counselor confidentiality, which may include unintended viewers
or recipients
• Inform both the student and parent/guardian of the benefits and limitations of virtual counseling

• Educate students on how to participate in the electronic school counseling relationship to minimize and prevent potential misunderstandings that could occur due to lack of verbal cues and inability to read body language or other visual cues that provide contextual meaning to the school counseling process and school counseling relationship

• Educate students about appropriate conduct in the online setting and using digital literacy as a tool to have an impact on students

• Incorporate lessons that align with academic, career and social/emotional domains
 
School counselors understand the expectations and limitations of providing virtual school counseling. School counselors have the responsibility to provide a school counseling program and develop programs to support all students in academic, career and social/emotional development that would emulate school counseling that would take place in a face-to-face environment. Virtual school counseling is a way to help students meet their potential and have an impact on their learning in a way they may not receive in a traditional face-to-face school environment.
