The Counselor and Therapist licensing law addresses educational/training standards for Counselors and Therapists, provides a mechanism for the disclosure of relevant information by Licensees, and provides a means to adopt and enforce ethical standards for practice.
The Board issues two different licenses: the Professional Counselor License (LPC) and the Marriage and Family Therapist License (LMFT). The licenses cover the application of theories and techniques to assist individuals, families, and groups to solve mental health problems or facilitate change.
The primary difference between the two types of licenses involves the specific training and experience in the delivery of family systems theories and techniques required for the LMFT.
