How therapist licensing works in South Carolina

Before booking an online session, check one thing: is the therapist licensed in South Carolina? Licensing follows where you're sitting during the session, so a South Carolina license covers you anywhere in the state. Psychologists can also work across state lines under PSYPACT where both jurisdictions take part.

Four license types come up on profiles in South Carolina: psychologist, LPC, LCSW and LMFT. Any of them can help with anxiety, depression or stress; for couples or family work an LMFT is trained for exactly that, and for testing or assessment a psychologist.

Commuting to Georgia or North Carolina? A session taken from work there counts as a session in that state, so ask whether your therapist's license reaches it.
