The Online Therapy Institute was founded by Kate Anthony and DeeAnna Merz Nagel in 2008, to draw on their combined international expertise in the field of telemental health and to provide global training. A think tank, learning community, publishing platform, and professional resource for the helping professions — long before telehealth became mainstream. Over the years, Kate and DeeAnna trained over 25,000 practitioners across the globe.
OTI came to be at a time when online therapy, coaching, supervision, and digital communication were still emerging areas of professional practice. Long before telehealth became mainstream, OTI served as an international hub for education, scholarship, ethical inquiry, professional development, and collaborative exploration at the intersection of technology and the helping professions.
