It details the mandatory distribution of clinical and non-clinical hours, specifying that candidates must complete a minimum of 3,000 total hours and 104 supervised weeks. The text outlines specific criteria for psychosocial diagnosis, psychotherapy, client-centered advocacy, and clinical supervision. With strict regulations on weekly hour caps and supervisor qualifications, this reference serves as a vital guide for social work professionals aiming to meet state-mandated licensure standards effectively. The information, revised in October 2023, clarifies the distinction between hours supervised by LCSWs versus Licensed Educational Psychologists and establishes the necessary weekly supervision frequency to ensure high-quality clinical training and patient care delivery.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/lcsw-summary-of-experience-requirements-guidelines-for-clinical-licensure/328640/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/lcsw-summary-of-experience-requirements-guidelines-for-clinical-licensure/328640.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Mia
