When documenting clinical supervision sessions in Oklahoma, the LPCS should include:

LPC-Candidates may accumulate hours in multiple settings as long as they have appropriate supervision coverage. If the supervisee has adequate supervision for the additional practice, the hours can count toward the 3,000-hour requirement.
