Licensed Professional Counselor Jobs in South Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina?
To become a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina, you must hold a master's or doctoral degree in counseling or a related field, pass the National Counselor Examination (NCE) or National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination (NCMHCE), and complete supervised post-graduate hours under an approved supervisor. The South Carolina Board of Examiners for Licensure of Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Psycho-Educational Specialists oversees the application, background check, and credential verification process.
Which companies hire licensed professional counselors in South Carolina?
Companies currently hiring licensed professional counselors in South Carolina include Self Regional Healthcare, LifeSource, and State of South Carolina, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. South Carolina's largest health systems and community mental health centers tend to drive the most consistent volume of openings across the state.
Which South Carolina cities have the most licensed professional counselor jobs?
Greenwood, Horry County, and Union have the most licensed professional counselor openings in South Carolina. Columbia leads as the state capital and home to several flagship hospital systems and state-funded behavioral health agencies, while Charleston's growing healthcare sector and Greenville's expanding medical corridor anchor hiring in the Upstate and Lowcountry regions.
Are there remote licensed professional counselor jobs in South Carolina?
Yes, and more than many clinical roles, since licensed professional counselors routinely deliver talk therapy and case management that translates well to telehealth platforms. About 0% of licensed professional counselor openings tied to South Carolina are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting continued expansion of telehealth since the pandemic. Outpatient therapy, crisis counseling, and employee assistance program roles tend to appear most often in remote or hybrid formats.
How can I get hired as a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is pursuing a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) credential, which South Carolina issues to candidates who have completed their graduate degree but are still accumulating supervised hours. Community mental health centers such as those operated through the South Carolina Department of Mental Health actively hire LPCAs and pair them with qualified supervisors. Roles like case manager, mental health technician, and crisis stabilization specialist at Prisma Health or MUSC Health sites are common lateral moves that build clinical exposure and strengthen a licensure application.
Where can I find and apply to licensed professional counselor jobs in South Carolina?
You can find and apply to licensed professional counselor jobs in South Carolina on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your credentials and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
