Dear Robyn:
Sounds like an interesting proposal, internet counseling. I am
not aware of any national laws that require that you get a
license for such, but I am not an attorney so I recommend you
check with your legal representative first.
The main thing you should be concerned about is the disclaimer
you put on your site about such, which again, you should consult
an attorney to have it written up. Liability for your opinion
would be the thing that is most important.
You will need to find out from your attorney and subsequently
from your insurance agent, how to best protect you from such.
For instance, what if you give advice (albeit for entertainment
purposes) to someone and they do a crime and then said it was
brought about by the advice you gave? That is the type of
liability issues that you need to understand and protect
yourself from.
But, we have business counseling, tarot card counseling and
the likes on the internet! Why not your help, too??!! Good Luck!
Best,
