Social work is a diverse and large field where individuals can grow professionally in many different directions. Clinical Social Work is one area of specialty where social workers can conduct therapy services. Licensed Clinical Social workers are trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities that allows them the title of "therapist". LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCs, Counseling Psychologists, and some school psychologists can do "therapy" or what we call "clinical work". After this episode about LCSWs, I will be interviewing psychologists and therapy/clinical supervisors so you can understand the nuanced positions the mental health field has to offer.
