ACA Members Sound Off on Title: Licensed Professional Counselor Wins

May 6, 2008

Earlier this year, a "Sound Off" poll in ACAeNews for Mental Health, Private Practice and Community Agency Counselors asked members to voice their opinion on consolidating licensure titles into one standard occupational title that would promote portability and reduce public confusion. The poll drew 678 responses, broken down as follows:

 

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) 298 (44%)
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) 199 (29%)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) 136 (20%)
Other 45 (7%)

Watch for other opportunities to "sound off" on matters of professional debate.
