An LCPC, otherwise known as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, cannot prescribe medication.

Other doctors can prescribe medications relevant to their specialty. The answer gets more complicated when it comes to who can prescribe any medication. But as far as professional counselors are concerned, prescriptions must come from someone else.
