Frequently Asked Questions

To become an LCSW in Texas, you'll need to complete the supervision and clinical experience required by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC), submit the required documentation, and successfully pass the ASWB Clinical Exam.

Throughout our time together, I'll guide you through the supervision process, help you stay on track with your requirements, and answer your questions along the way.

Texas currently requires LMSWs pursuing LCSW licensure to complete:

• 3,000 hours of supervised clinical practice

• 100 hours of clinical supervision

• A minimum supervision period established by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC)

Because regulations can change, I always encourage supervisees to verify the latest requirements with the Board. I'll also help ensure your supervision remains compliant throughout the process.

My supervision groups typically meet twice each month for two-hour virtual sessions.

This schedule provides consistent support while helping supervisees steadily progress toward their supervision requirements.

Yes.

Texas permits board-compliant clinical supervision through secure audio and video technology.

I've been providing virtual supervision since 2017, allowing LMSWs across Texas to receive structured, interactive supervision without the need to travel.

Absolutely.

Although I'm based in Dallas, I work with LMSWs throughout Texas, including Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Waco, Tyler, Lubbock, El Paso, and many rural communities.

As long as your employment setting meets Texas Board requirements, we can complete your supervision virtually.

My supervision program is intentionally designed to help you become a stronger clinician—not simply complete your required supervision hours.

During supervision, we focus on:

• Interactive DSM-5 case studies

• Clinical case consultation

• Diagnostic formulation

• Treatment planning

• Ethical decision-making

• Documentation review

• Professional identity development

• Evidence-based interventions

• Collaborative group learning

• Preparation for the ASWB Clinical Exam

My goal is to help you become a confident, ethical, and independent clinical social worker.

Each session is interactive and discussion-based.

Depending on the group's needs, we may:

• Review clinical cases

• Discuss DSM-5 diagnoses

• Explore ethical dilemmas

• Review treatment plans

• Strengthen documentation skills

• Practice clinical reasoning

• Share perspectives with fellow clinicians

• Review evidence-based interventions

Every session is designed to encourage learning, reflection, and professional growth.

Group sizes are intentionally kept manageable to encourage meaningful discussion and allow every supervisee opportunities to participate, ask questions, and receive individualized feedback.

Yes.

Although supervision occurs in a group setting, I take time to understand each supervisee's professional goals, learning style, strengths, and areas for growth.

My goal is for every clinician to feel supported throughout the supervision journey.

Before beginning supervision, you'll typically need:

• Professional résumé

• Employer information

• Job description

• Clinical supervision paperwork

• Other documents required by the Texas Board

During your consultation, I'll explain exactly what you'll need and guide you through the onboarding process.

Our consultation is an opportunity for us to get to know each other.

We'll discuss:

• Your current role

• Your career goals

• Your supervision needs

• Texas supervision requirements

• My supervision approach

• Any questions you have

If we're a good fit, we'll move forward with onboarding and your supervision plan.

Depending on availability and the timing of the group, you may be able to join an existing supervision group or be placed on the interest list for an upcoming cohort.

We'll discuss the best option during your consultation.

Yes.

Preparing for the ASWB Clinical Exam is an important part of my supervision program.

Supervisees receive structured support that includes:

• Content review

• Practice questions

• Test-taking strategies

• Mock examinations

• Guidance throughout the preparation process

My goal is to help you feel confident and well prepared when it's time to take the exam.
