Counseling psychologists usually have a master degree in counseling or a doctoral degree in counseling psychology. Those with a master degree can work in many different settings and are typically supervised by a doctoral level psychologist. Doctoral programs generally have more clinical and research experience and are usually required for independent practice. Currently the American Psychological Associated (APA) accredits doctoral education programs in counseling psychology and institutions that provide internships.

Counseling psychologists must be licensed in all states to be involved in direct patient care or have an independent practice. Licensing laws are different from state to state and the type of position. Counseling psychologists typically need a doctorate in psychology, 1 to 2 years of professional experience, and an approved internship to obtain a license.
