Introduction
The Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling online program prepares students for careers in counseling-related fields by offering advanced preparation in counseling, testing, and research methods. The program also includes the completion of a practicum consisting of a University-approved counseling setting under the supervision of a licensed psychologist or licensed professional counselor-supervisor (LPC-S).
Graduates of our mental health degrees go on to work in a variety of settings, including private practices, universities, clinics, and hospitals. Other graduates have completed doctoral studies in psychology at leading research universities across the country. There will be classes offered online, but there are required on-campus classes due to state mandates.
Graduates of the mental health counseling online degree are eligible to apply for licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. Before becoming an LPC, graduates need to pass the National Counselor Exam, and Texas Jurisprudence Exam, and complete an internship under the supervision of an LPC-S.
