A therapist conducting ACT via telehealth discovers that a client in crisis is located in a state where the therapist is not licensed. The most appropriate immediate action is to:
-

Continue providing support since the therapeutic relationship takes precedence over licensure
-
B
Immediately terminate the call and instruct the client to call 911
-
C
Manage the immediate safety need while concurrently clarifying jurisdiction and licensure obligations
-
D
Document the interstate situation and defer regulatory concerns until after the crisis
