Behavioral Health Therapist Jobs in Oklahoma: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a behavioral health therapist in Oklahoma?
The standard path in Oklahoma is to earn a master's degree in counseling, social work, or a related field and then obtain licensure through the Oklahoma State Board of Licensed Professional Counselors or the Oklahoma State Board of Licensed Social Workers, depending on your degree. Most employers require candidates to hold or be actively working toward an LPC, LCSW, or equivalent credential. Supervised post-graduate hours are required before full licensure is granted.
