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.
