​

5. Can I receive supervision from someone other than an LCSW?

​

6. Do I need to take the ASWB Clinical Exam during my supervision?
Yes, after completing the required supervised hours, you will need to pass the ASWB Clinical Exam in order to receive your LCSW license. Your supervisor will help you prepare by discussing case studies, clinical concepts, and ethical issues.

​

7. What’s the difference between group and individual supervision?

• Group supervision involves learning alongside other clinicians, allowing you to share ideas and experiences in a collaborative environment. It’s a great way to build community and gain diverse perspectives.

​

10. Why is supervision important for becoming an LCSW?
Supervision ensures you’re developing the skills, knowledge, and confidence to work independently as an LCSW. It provides a space to process difficult cases, receive feedback, and refine your clinical approach. Most importantly, it ensures you're meeting licensing requirements while receiving the support you need to be an ethical and effective clinician.
