Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Save
April 11, 2024 3 minute read

Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) are mental health professionals who provide counseling and therapy to individuals, families, and groups. They work in a variety of settings, including private practice, hospitals, clinics, and schools. LCSWs are licensed by the state in which they practice, and they must meet specific educational and experience requirements.

Education and Training

To become an LCSW, you must have a master's degree in social work (MSW) from an accredited program. MSW programs typically take two to three years to complete and include coursework in social work theory and practice, human behavior, and social policy. In addition to coursework, MSW programs also require students to complete a supervised internship.
