Texas LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) Jurisprudence Exam

Can an LPC display a copy or reproduction of their license?

1. Yes, with modifications

2. No, under any circumstances

3. Only during working hours

4. Yes, as long as it is not for commercial use

The correct answer is: No, under any circumstances

The correct answer is that displaying a copy or reproduction of an LPC license is not permitted under any circumstances. The integrity and authenticity of a professional license is crucial in maintaining trust and accountability within the counseling profession. Displaying a copy could lead to questions about its legitimacy, potentially compromising the perception of the professional's qualifications. Maintaining original licenses in a secure and appropriate manner ensures that the document’s validity is undisputed. In the context of professional standards, reproducing and displaying a copy may cause confusion among clients about the counselor's credentials and licensure status. Therefore, the restriction on displaying copies is in place to protect both the counselor's reputation and the interests of clients seeking services.
