BBS Licensing Expertise
Every BBS rule, at your fingertips.
Trained on the official BBS handbooks for all three tracks: LMFT (marriage and family therapist), LPCC (professional clinical counselor), and LCSW (clinical social worker). Ask about supervision requirements, the 90-day rule, or associate registration. Ask about practicum and post-degree hours, or any step toward licensure. It answers from BBS publications, not guesswork.
- Supervision requirements for AMFTs, APCCs, and ASWs
- Hour categories, caps, and what counts toward your 3,000
- Practicum rules, the 90-day rule, and degree phase tracking
- Trained on official BBS forms and applications to help you fill them out
- Tells you when it doesn't know and recommends verifying with the BBS
Assistant
What is the 90-day rule?
The 90-day rule counts supervised hours earned between your degree date and your registration date, if:
- You apply within 90 days of your degree date
- Your employer required Live Scan fingerprinting
If you apply late, hours only count after your registration is issued.
