Using a VPN for Telehealth While Abroad?

I am going on a trip to Europe potentially for up to 3 months. I will start in the UK and probably go down afterwards to Germany. I live in the United States and see my therapist virtually through a service called Thriveworks. 3 months is a long time and I am going to be visiting family while I am there, and it's likely to be a very stressful trip as a result. My therapist told me he could, in the worst case scenario, lose his license if he were to do a session with me while I was abroad. However, he suggested that I use a VPN and said he'd still meet with me for virtual sessions like normal, which is once a week.

Is there anything to worry about realistically, from an information security standpoint? Is this a bad idea?
