State licensing boards

LCSW

Arbor lists 33 coaches holding the LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) credential, issued by the State licensing boards.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

What it means

An LCSW credential means the practitioner is a licensed therapist — relevant context for understanding the coach's background and capabilities. Coaching is distinct from therapy and an LCSW operating as a coach is doing coaching, not clinical work.

Requirements

Master of Social Work degree, 2-3+ years of supervised clinical experience, and passing a state licensing exam. Renewed via state continuing-education requirements.
