Online Licensed Master Social Workers

39 licensed master social workers available online.

There are 39 licensed master social workers (LMSWs) practicing online. An LMSW is a licensed master social worker: someone with a master's degree in social work who has passed a licensing exam. This represents 5% of the 837 total licensed therapists listed online. LMSW and LCPC are tied at 39 listings each online, out of 9 license types listed there. Adding 321 LCSW listings, FindSupport's online network has 360 social workers listed in all. LMSWs don't prescribe medication; for that, people usually see a psychiatrist, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, or their primary care doctor. Across all 837 therapists listed online, 1 works with couples and 1 works with children; each LMSW's profile shows which of these they do. These listings give no city because the therapists work online. Therapists can generally see clients online only in states where they're licensed, and the rules vary by state. FindSupport can also suggest therapists online from a short description of what you're going through (your concern, language, insurance, or budget), free of charge.

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.
