In order to practice as a Counselor in any state, you must be licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), or other comparable state license designation. License requirements may vary. It is your responsibility to ascertain and meet licensure requirements in any state in which you desire to practice.

These courses do not lead to professional certification or licensure as a mental health provider.
