Howdy all, first post in a while, would appreciate some feedback. In short, I'm a non trad student (just turned 40) and would like my last career to be mental health counseling. This stems from me overcoming anxiety, depression, and self doubt myself and I would now like to help others do the same. I enjoy listening to people and believe I am naturally empathetic and would excel as a counselor. The thing is, I'm in kind of a unique situation. Currently I'm a digital nomad residing in South America and would like to stay here for the forseeable future. I would like to complete a counseling program online and then start practicing with most of my clients being remotely. Can anyone suggest an inexpensive accredited (CACREP) online counseling program that I could complete? What are your overall thoughts on my plan?

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of the CACREP online programs are legitimate and could easily lead to a career as a counselor/therapist. I would really like to become a mental health counselor/therapist at some point in my life but would like to continue working so I don't have to eat Ramen all the time. So the things I'm looking for most in a program are cost and online classes so I can keep earning a decent living while I eventually transition into becoming a counselor. Any such programs out there?
