Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring an online psychology degree opens diverse opportunities in the mental health field. Many graduates pursue roles as counselors, therapists, or other mental health professionals. Each state and city in the U.S. has its own process and requirements for licensure, making it important to understand local regulations before beginning your career.

For example, if you aim to become a mental health counselor in Seattle or become a mental health counselor in Spokane, you’ll likely need a master’s degree and to complete supervised hours, along with sitting for national and state exams. Similarly, mental health counselor requirements in St. Louis and become a mental health counselor in St. Petersburg may require specific coursework and state-approved training.

Researching these pathways will help you select the right online program and understand critical steps for your future career as a licensed mental health professional.
