Primarily, I wanted someone with 15+ years of experience counseling, had a similar world-life view and was dually licensed (in the state I live in and the state I went to school and have a lot of contacts in. This proved valuable when virtual appts became a common request. I think people could think more about their "non-specialty areas." They could ask how a supervisor's life experience and focus would intersect positively with their own areas of interest. (There is more connection in the nuances of counseling then we might acknowledge.)
