Multiple Choice

For an LPCC to treat couples or families, what is the minimum number of supervised hours and continuing education required each license renewal?

Working with couples or families requires working with system dynamics and more complex ethical considerations, so the licensing rules raise the bar for supervision and ongoing education when you offer that service. The minimum to meet this requirement is 500 hours of supervised clinical experience plus 6 hours of continuing education at each license renewal. This combination ensures you have enough hands-on practice with relational cases and stay up to date on best practices and ethics in family systems work. The other options either go beyond what’s minimally required or don’t reach the minimum threshold, which is why they aren’t selected.
