NO. LPCs (Licensed Professional Counselors) are not allowed to sit for LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) exams in any state. In many states, LCSWs are allowed to sit for LPC exams and be conferred LPC licensure by virtue of passing the examination. This is largely due to the fact that LCSWs are considered independent practitioners on a national level and are able to bill government insurance programs for direct practice activities. LCSW curriculum and supervision is generally regarded as more standardized and rigorous.
