Latin American literature on clinical supervision is limited and literature concerning technology‐assisted supervision is virtually nonexistent. We address this gap, providing our perspective on the use of technology in distance supervision within Argentina and Guatemala. Despite important differences, these two countries share many sociocultural features. We contextualize these perspectives, describing therapist training according to the Integrative Model of Fundación Aiglé. Through the use of vignettes, we illustrate contextualized training experiences, concluding with a synthesis of strengths and weaknesses encountered when implementing the use of technology in distance supervision.
