Just over half of the licensed providers here — 50% — hold the same licence, professional counselor. Where one type dominates like this, the practical question is less which letters someone has than whether they work with what you are bringing to them.

6 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 8,383 licensed providers are registered across Mississippi, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.

One caveat on reading these numbers: the registry records where a provider registered an address, not where they see clients day to day, and addresses are not always kept current. It also says nothing about whether someone is taking new clients.
