We reflect on the current challenges of clinical psychology practice through a theoretical review of crucial dimensions (e.g., therapeutic relationships, multidisciplinary teams, and the challenges of new technologies in clinical psychology), highlighting the effects and obstacles created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental Health has been widely influenced and impacted by the pandemic creating a need for new ways to connect clients and therapists. New technologies have effectively changed how therapists communicate and engage with their clients, with new forms of therapy emerging (through online platforms, for example). However, there is a growing concern regarding their use and effect on clinical psychological practice. Will new technologies create a world where some form of artificial technology replaces therapist? Will face-to-face therapy become obsolete? How can we move forward without compromising critical elements of in-person therapy? We reflect on the scope of clinical psychology and the use of new technologies to complement current practices. We advocate for the intended use of these technologies without compromising the benefits of an interpersonal and therapeutic connection.
