licensed counselor
Credentialed mental health professional
A licensed counselor is a mental health professional who has met state requirements to practice counseling—typically a master's degree, supervised clinical hours, and a licensing exam.
The title varies by state: licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), or similar designations.
Licensed counselors provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families, addressing issues from anxiety and depression to relationship problems.
