Though students can earn a bachelor's in counseling psychology, they need a master's degree to become a licensed counselor. Requirements for licensure vary by state, but they generally include holding a graduate degree, continued education, and proof of several thousand hours working under a licensed counselor

Typically to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, you will need a Master's Degree in a behavioral health field from an accredited college. Once you have a Master's degree, you will need to complete supervised hours of experience (it's 3000 hours of supervised clinical experience here in North Carolina) as well as complete an exam and application for licensure.
