I wanted to ask, I was interested in setting up a therapy business in the Philippines, having it legally registered there, and hiring therapists there, and then advertising services in the U.S., and then telling the people that call me on my number that the therapist I have can be available tomorrow, however, that she is licensed for the Philippines, and that they can do via Zoom, as long as she accepts the fact that she's licensed to operate in the Philippines, even though she'd be in the U.S., the patient would be in the U.S., that is, and that she would just have to pay about $* for the first visit. What is the legality on this, and how could I possibly do this in a way that is legal?
To legally conduct your proposed business, consider the following:
- Compliance with the Philippine laws for business registration and hiring.
- U.S. laws concerning advertising foreign services.
- Licensing requirements for therapists in both countries.
- Data protection laws for teletherapy across borders.
Please consult with a legal professional in both countries for detailed advice.

In general, the provision of therapy services in the U.S. requires appropriate state licensure. However, laws vary by state and the nature of the services. Please consult with a U.S. legal professional for specific advice.
