Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) must complete a Master of Social Work (MSW) program, in which they receive training in providing direct counseling to clients. They then must complete 3,000 hours of clinical (counseling) work supervised by a licensed clinician. They must register with the state’s licensing board—in California it is the Board of Behavioral Sciences—and pass two licensing exams. Similar licenses are the LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) and LPCC (Licensed Professional Counselor). Licensed Psychologists (PsyD or PhD) complete doctoral level education and receive more training in administering psychological tests. The MSW degree and LCSW are unique in their emphasis on advocacy and how culture and environment influence individuals—the person-in-situation or person-in-environment perspective.
