Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Massachusetts?
The independent counselor license in Massachusetts is the LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), issued by the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Allied Mental Health and Human Services Professions. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Massachusetts also qualify, under the titles Massachusetts uses.
For telehealth, the license has to match where the client is sitting during the session. To see a client located in Massachusetts, you need a Massachusetts license or a valid compact privilege. See Can Therapists See Telehealth Clients in Another State?
