Online therapy with foreign psychologists. Possible?

Hi! I'm a licensed psychologist and specialist in psychoanalytical clinic in Brazil.

I'm interested to know the acceptance of North Americans/European people on doing online therapy with foreign psychologists (in english, obviously).

I see that the prices for these services in North America (NA) and Europe are quite high and not everyone can afford it.

For exemple, U$40- U$60 a session is not much for an NA Person, but it might be A LOT in other countries.

Not only that, I see that the main type of therapy that is offered in NA is CBT and I think some people are quite disappointed with CBT's techniques and are wanting to try some other types of therapy like psychoanalytic.

I've recently started a channel in english about psychological themes in a accessible way to try to help some people and promote my one-on-one sessions. I'm asking you all this to know if I keep investing my time and energy into the channel or I just focus on my practice here in Brazil.

I would love to know the comunity's thoughts on this... if it is possible, if it's not and why.

Much appreciated!

BTW, I don't think I'm promoting my sessions or myself with this post, since this is a community of therapists and not clients.
