Licensing statute and board administrative rules (Licensed Professional Counselors Act; Board of Behavioral Health licensure rules)
Map the Licensed Professional Counselors Act section by section, noting licensure tiers, application prerequisites, and the Board's grant of authority.
Build a crosswalk comparing each statutory requirement with the corresponding Board of Behavioral Health administrative rule and flag where the rule adds operative detail.
Recite from memory the education, supervised experience, and examination prerequisites attached to each license and certificate type.
List the statutory grounds for denial, suspension, revocation, and reprimand and match each ground to its rule citation.
Your checkpoint
A two-page statute-to-rule crosswalk covering all licensure tiers, plus a 25-question self-quiz scored at 80% or better with every miss annotated by citation.
Professional ethics codes and standards of conduct
Outline the architecture of the governing ethics code and rank its standards by how frequently they generate complaints and discipline.
Separate aspirational principles from mandatory enforceable standards across ten commonly confused provisions.
Write short structured analyses of eight ethics vignettes, naming the specific standard and the statutory hook for each conclusion.
Compare ethical duties with legal duties where the two diverge, including competence, advertising, and referral obligations.
Your checkpoint
An ethics scenario log of eight written analyses, each citing a standard and a statute section, self-graded against a rubric with a correction noted for every unsupported conclusion.
Confidentiality, privileged communication, and mandatory reporting duties
Define privileged communication under state law, identifying who holds the privilege, how it is asserted, and how it can be waived.
Enumerate each mandatory reporting duty, specifying the triggering condition, the reporting timeframe, and the designated recipient.
Match every recognized exception to confidentiality with a rehearsed disclosure statement a counselor could actually say aloud.
Draft a step-by-step response sequence for receiving a subpoena, a court order, or a records request from a third party.
Your checkpoint
A one-page confidentiality decision tree and a one-page mandatory reporting quick-reference, both carrying statutory cites for every trigger and deadline.
Confidentiality, privileged communication, and mandatory reporting duties & Informed consent, client rights, and disclosure requirements
Assemble the required elements of informed consent for counseling and verify each element against both statute and rule.
Explain client rights in concrete terms: record access, refusal of treatment, minor consent, and the distinction between voluntary and involuntary status.
Record and review a three-minute client-facing disclosure of the limits of confidentiality delivered in plain language.
Complete 30 mixed practice items across confidentiality and client rights and log the rule behind every incorrect answer.
Your checkpoint
A finalized informed-consent checklist and disclosure script, plus a scored 30-item set with a complete error log.
Clinical supervision requirements and supervisor/supervisee responsibilities & Scope of practice, title protection, and exempt/nonexempt activities
Delineate supervisor and supervisee responsibilities for evaluation, documentation, session observation, and the boundaries of the supervisory relationship.
Compute supervision hour requirements, ratios, and qualifying-supervisor criteria for each licensure pathway.
Distinguish scope of practice from title protection by listing activities reserved to licensees and activities open to unlicensed persons.
Classify ten fact patterns as exempt or nonexempt activity under the statute and defend each classification in one sentence.
Your checkpoint
A scope-of-practice classification worksheet covering ten scenarios, paired with a one-page supervision requirements summary containing all hour and ratio figures.
Record-keeping, documentation, and retention of client records & Professional boundaries, multiple relationships, competence, and impaired practice
Specify required record content, retention periods, storage safeguards, and disposal methods for each client category, including minors.
Draft a release-of-information and records-request procedure that satisfies both legal and ethical requirements.
Analyze multiple-relationship vignettes against a decision model and pinpoint the threshold at which a boundary crossing becomes a violation.
Build a competence self-assessment identifying scope limits and the referral pathway for each identified gap.
Your checkpoint
A records retention and release protocol outline plus a ten-scenario boundary and competence grid with a ruling and rationale for each row.
Professional boundaries, multiple relationships, competence, and impaired practice & Complaints, investigations, disciplinary process, and license maintenance/renewal obligations
Identify behavioral indicators of impaired practice and the required response steps for oneself and for a colleague.
Sequence the complaint intake, investigation, hearing, and appeal process, naming the decision point and the decision-maker at each stage.
Map renewal obligations: continuing education hours, reporting deadlines, late consequences, and inactive or retired status rules.
Draft a mock response to a Board inquiry letter that preserves rights while meeting the stated deadline.
Your checkpoint
A disciplinary process flowchart with decision points labeled, plus a twelve-month renewal and continuing education compliance calendar.
Licensing statute and board administrative rules (Licensed Professional Counselors Act; Board of Behavioral Health licensure rules) & Professional ethics codes and standards of conduct & Confidentiality, privileged communication, and mandatory reporting duties & Clinical supervision requirements and supervisor/supervisee responsibilities
Re-work every missed item from prior weeks until the consolidated error log shows 90% mastery.
Complete two timed full-length practice exams under realistic testing conditions and record section-level scores.
Condense each of the nine domains into a single review sheet capped at fifteen facts.
Simulate timed blocks in the two weakest domains and document the recurring error pattern in writing.
Your checkpoint
Nine one-page domain summaries, two timed exam score reports, and a written 48-hour final review schedule targeting the two lowest-scoring domains.
Milestones
Week 4: Score at least 75% on a 40-item mixed set spanning licensure statute, ethics, confidentiality, and client rights, with every missed item tied to a specific citation.
Week 6: Explain aloud, without notes, the supervision hour and ratio requirements for each licensure pathway and the retention period for adult and minor client records.
Week 8: Score at least 80% on each of two timed full-length practice exams and demonstrate 90% mastery on the consolidated error log.
