Asking for a friend who is an MFT. He is considering moving into private practice, however, he isn't ready to make the leap from a steady and reliable job to a job where income is very dependent on the size of your professional network--and he doesn't really have a professional network at all right now.
Any tips on how to ease into private practice with a low initial commitment and pressure--just a part time thing with only one or a few clients?

With regards to psychotherapy, a common opinion I've noticed on MetaFilter is that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is perceived as being the most efficient way to go, in addition to being one of the very few therapies likely to be reimbursed by health insurance.

American perspective. As such, I'm curious: What are some major features of psychotherapy in countries other than the United States?
