Texas LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) Jurisprudence Exam

What should advertisements of counseling include to indicate licensure status?

1. "Certified Counselor"

2. "Licensed Therapist"

3. "LPC Intern"

4. "Licensed by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors"

The correct answer is: "Licensed by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors"

Counseling advertisements should include the exact wording "Licensed by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors" to indicate licensure status. This is because it is the most comprehensive and specific way to convey that the counselor is officially licensed by the state of Texas. Option A ("Certified Counselor") may only refer to a certification from a certain organization, and therefore may not necessarily reflect a valid state license. Option B ("Licensed Therapist") is also not as specific as option D, as a therapist can refer to any type of therapy and may not necessarily be a licensed professional counselor. Option C ("LPC Intern") is also not correct, as it refers to a status of being a licensed professional counselor in training, and not an officially licensed professional. Therefore, it is important for counseling advertisements to include the exact wording of option D to accurately convey the counselor's licensure status.
