What this licence covers
Clinical social workers (LCSW, LICSW and equivalents) hold a master’s degree in social work plus supervised clinical hours. They are the largest single group of licensed psychotherapy providers in the United States. Training emphasises the person in their environment, so alongside therapy they often help with practical systems — benefits, housing, school and medical coordination.
Practising in or around school settings. School-based providers usually serve enrolled students rather than taking outside clients.
The formal definition

Many also hold another licence
different training route, same personThese are registrations where the same person also holds a licence of a genuinely different kind — not the same qualification recorded twice. It is worth knowing because it widens what someone can work with: a counsellor who is also a social worker brings a different second toolkit than one who is also a behaviour analyst.
Counted from every taxonomy code on a registration, not just the primary one. A provider can appear under more than one row.
