The Board of Counseling has worked diligently to define the LPC as a profession. This includes overseeing clinical supervision for licensure. Previous regulations eliminated the practice that allowed other licensed professionals to supervise LPCs, to maintain the identity, relevance, and quality of supervision. As an LMFT, I supervise LPC and LMFT Residents for licensure. Even so, I can provide only half of the hours an LPC needs for licensure. This ensures the integrity of the supervision and the profession. I would object strongly  to LCSWs supervising any LMFT Residents, as it also a singular, distinct profession. I object strongly to this proposal.
