Can one become a LCP (a Licenced Clinical Psychologist) with a PhD in Counseling? Or, does a PhD in Counseling become an LPC (a Licenced Professional Counselor)?

From my understanding LPC is a Masters level licensure. A Counseling Psychologist and Clinical Psychologist have the same licensure.

A licensed clinical psychologist has to come from accredited psychology program.

An LPC is a master's level licensure. It was developed by a number of states in order to allow master's level psychologists to practice without a doctorate. TO my knowledge, MSW's have long had this option by getting an LCSW after completing their masters degree.
