(a) Supervised experience is acceptable when it consists of the performance of counseling activities as described in Section 1902, of the Act under supervision as described below.
(1)
Supervision shall focus on the raw data from a supervisee's continuing clinical
practice, which may be available to the supervisor through a combination of
direct observation, co-therapy, written clinical notes, and audio and video
recordings.
(2) Supervision is a
process clearly distinguishable from personal psychotherapy, and is contracted
in order to serve professional/vocational goals.
(3) Individual supervision consists of
face-to-face contact with one supervisor and one supervisee.
(4) Group supervision may be conducted with
two (2) to six (6) supervisees and a supervisor.
(5) Technology-assisted supervision must be
approved by the Board prior to the accrual of hours. Factors to be considered
by the Board include: distance between approved supervisor and candidate;
financial hardship on approved supervisor or candidate; physical hardship on
approved supervisor or candidate; specialty credentials; and other pertinent
factors.
(b) Supervised experience begins after all applicable academic requirements, as stated in LPC Regulations, Subchapter 9, have been completed.
(c) An LPC Candidate may accrue supervised experience hours in academic, governmental or private-not-for-profit and private for-profit settings.
(d) Supervised experienced hours shall be accrued in a private for-profit or not-for-profit counseling practice setting, only if:
(1) The LPC Candidate is an employee, as
defined by
86:10-1-2, of the same facility as
a person licensed in the state of Oklahoma as a Licensed Professional
Counselor, a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist, a Licensed Behavioral
Practitioner, a Psychologist, a Psychiatrist, a Clinical Social Worker, or a
Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, whose assigned job duties include being
immediately available to the LPC Candidate for supervision at any time the LPC
Candidate is engaging in the practice of counseling or counseling-related
services.
(2) The LPC Candidate is
receiving supervision for licensure from an approved LPC supervisor who is not
required to work at the same location as the LPC Candidate.
