What is an LMSW?
A Licensed Master Social Worker has a master's degree in social work and has passed a state licensing exam. In many states an LMSW provides counseling under the supervision of a clinical social worker while working toward the LCSW, and the exact scope of practice depends on the state. If you're considering an LMSW for therapy, it's reasonable to ask how supervision works in their practice.
