Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Considering a psychology degree opens doors to a range of fulfilling careers, especially in mental health. One rapidly growing specialty is marriage and family therapy (MFT). Online psychology and counseling degrees can help you begin this path, but becoming a licensed therapist involves additional steps.

Each state has specific certification and education requirements if you want to specialize as a marriage and family therapist. For example, Raleigh mft certification requirements emphasize earning a master's degree, completing supervised clinical hours, and passing a national exam. The Reno mft certification requirements are similar, but may differ in the number of hours and specific coursework needed.

If you’re aiming to practice in Virginia, the Richmond mft education requirements also require specialized graduate study with practicum experience. Meanwhile, the Riverside mft education requirements in California highlight the importance of state-approved programs and unique licensure procedures.

Pursuing an online degree in psychology or counseling is an excellent first step, providing you with the academic foundation needed for further specialization and state-specific licensure.
