Licensed Professional Counselor → Licensed professional counselor –

Per WP:CAPS and WP:TITLE, and because this is a generic, common noun, not a propriety term or a title, the article title should be downcased. Tony (talk) 04:03, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Tony and WP:CAPS. Jenks24 (talk) 03:42, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Errors

It states LPC (Or Variation, LCPC, LMHC..) -- An LCPC is a different license type altogether. You need to do more research before putting this out there as fact! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.55.99.2 (talk) 21:31, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New section added on 4 November 2014

CEDstudents added a large section of text about Community Mental Health Counseling: Then and Now and Theoretical Orientations to Counseling, neither of which have anything to do with the topic of this article, which is the licensing process for counselors in various parts of the world. There are proper venues for the material these students wish to add (community mental health service and counseling psychology, respectively), but I suspect the students just need this material to be present in the article for their professor to grade. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not here to serve these students' academic needs. The article, with these additions, is now a logical mess with no coherence. I have twice reverted these additions (with several earlier reverts by Drmies), but these students insist on having their way. In the spirit of WP:BRD, I have not reverted their latest restoration of this inappropriate material, but have rather opened this discussion of the matter. I invite them to join this discussion to help form consensus. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:33, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiDan61, I'm glad I'm not the only one looking at this; I saw the latest series of edits this morning and they needed reverting too. The lack of communication doesn't help, of course. Thanks also for picking up the baton on the article and user talk pages, and bringing up the name issue. Drmies (talk) 18:18, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Exemption

I added a paragraph showing that Alabama grants a licensing exemption to counselors who worked for legitimate non-profits and public charities. Prsaucer1958 (talk) 16:36, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Licensed professional counselor/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This is a biased article. It ignores Marriage and Family therapists in its list of mental health provider types. It's description of social work is misleading, making no distinction between masters level clinical social workers who are well preparedt to conduct psychotherapy, and other social workers who do the kinds of work the article describes. I suspect the author has an agenda of wanting to make Professional Counselors sound superior to practioners from competing mental health disciplines. Agree. Psychiatrists rarely provide psychotherapy????
