Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring a degree in psychology opens doors to various fulfilling career pathways, especially in counseling. Many students pursue online master's in counseling or related programs to meet educational requirements for licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). However, it’s important to note that each state has different requirements for licensure, which can affect your career trajectory and choice of academic program.

For example, if you’re planning to practice in New Jersey, you’ll need to follow specific guidelines on how to get an lpc license in New Jersey. Similarly, students intending to work in New Mexico must meet New Mexico lpc licensure requirements. Prospective counselors in New York need to be familiar with the New York licensed professional counselor requirements, while those in the Southeast should understand the lpc license requirements in North Carolina.

Before choosing an online psychology or counseling program, research the specific credentials needed in your state. Doing so ensures your education aligns with career and licensure pathways, and sets you on the right path to a meaningful profession in mental health.
