Read the first 7 Eligibility and Requirements flashcards as text

  1. Which of the following is a common continuing education (CE) requirement for LPCC license renewal?

    Answer: A set number of CE hours (often 20–40) per renewal cycle, including ethics training

    Most states require LPCCs to complete a set number of CE hours per renewal cycle, with ethics being a mandatory sub-component.

  2. A licensed LPCC lets their license lapse for 18 months. What is the most typical reinstatement requirement beyond paying fees?

    Answer: Completing CE hours missed during the lapse period and meeting any reinstatement conditions

    Most boards require lapsed licensees to satisfy outstanding CE requirements and pay reinstatement fees; full re-examination is usually reserved for very extended lapses.

  3. Which professional disclosure statement requirement is typically linked to LPCC licensure standards?

    Answer: The counselor must provide clients with written information about their qualifications, fees, and limits of confidentiality

    Most state licensing boards require LPCCs to provide clients with a professional disclosure statement covering credentials, fees, confidentiality limits, and complaint procedures.

  4. Which federal law impacts the LPCC eligibility of someone convicted of a healthcare-related fraud offense?

    Answer: The Social Security Act's exclusion provisions (OIG exclusion list)

    Individuals excluded by the OIG (Office of Inspector General) due to healthcare fraud convictions are barred from participating in federally funded programs, which many boards consider during licensure decisions.

  5. A candidate has completed an online-only master's in counseling from a regionally accredited university but the program is not CACREP-accredited. Which statement best describes their LPCC eligibility?

    Answer: Eligibility depends on state board review of coursework equivalency to CACREP standards

    Eligibility for graduates of non-CACREP programs is determined state by state through a coursework review to verify equivalency with board-required content areas.

  6. Which situation would most likely require an LPCC applicant to obtain approval before beginning a supervised internship at a private practice?

    Answer: When the supervisor is the applicant's spouse or domestic partner

    Most boards prohibit or require special disclosure when a supervisory relationship involves a family or intimate relationship due to the potential for bias.

  7. Under the Counseling Compact, which benefit is extended to LPCC-equivalent licensees in member states?

    Answer: The ability to practice telehealth across member states without obtaining additional licenses

    The Counseling Compact allows licensed counselors in member states to provide telehealth services across state lines without applying for a separate license in each state.
