New Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) bring challenges and advantages to professional's formation in several domains of knowledge. In the present paper, ICTs influences in Psychology courses are discussed as well as on clinical psychologist formation. At the contemporary and technology world, psychologists need to learn and manage to integrate several spaces in a balanced and innovative way. In other words, these professionals are demanded to form new contexts for learning, mediated by digital language. New learning nets exist and can promote the development of therapeutic skills to psychologists under formation. It is concluded that Psychology courses need to plan activities including the virtual reality. It is evidenced that Universities and educators need to plan and to be flexible at the curriculum of Psychology about the time of physical presence in class and virtual interactions, integrating in a creative and innovative way these contexts in order to prepare the Psychology professional to the new reality.
