Question by : Does anyone know the breakdown of experience hours when applying for an LCPC in the state of Illinois?
I know you need 3360 hours total and 1920 of them must be direct service. However, on the form your supervisor fills out it does not break it down this way, instead it breaks it down into different tasks or services provided. Do a certain number of them need to be “counseling”? Is that the “direct service”? I’m currently working as a case manager for individuals who are dually diagnosed and homeless. I provide counseling to them on a regular basis but not in a formalized setting. I would think most of my time is spent doing “case management” but if I don’t show the majority of my time is spent counseling will they not let me take the exam? Please help if possible!!!!!
