Clinical Supervision in Georgia for Therapists Pursuing LPC Licensure
Are you a master’s-level counselor in Georgia working toward LPC licensure?
You need a clinical supervisor who can guide you through the licensure process.
Congratulations on completing your counseling degree!
Starting your career as a therapist is exciting, but figuring out the next steps toward LPC licensure can also feel overwhelming.
One of the first steps in becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia is completing your directed experience hours while working with a qualified clinical supervisor. If you’re feeling unsure about what the process looks like, you’re not alone.
What is clinical supervision?
Clinical supervision is a required part of the licensure process that helps you grow your clinical skills, build confidence as a therapist, and receive support as you begin working with clients. In Georgia, clinical supervision involves direct review of your clinical work for the purpose of training, support, and professional development. It is designed to help you strengthen your skills, navigate ethical and clinical questions, and move towards licensure with greater clarity.
HI, I’M HEATHER.
My Approach to Clinical Supervision
I provide clinical supervision in Georgia for master’s-level counseling graduates who are pursuing licensure as a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) with the goal of becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
I approach supervision with the mindset of a teacher, consultant, and counselor, offering a supportive and collaborative environment where you can continue developing both personally and professionally as a therapist.
My supervision style is warm, practical, and growth-oriented. I aim to help you build confidence in your clinical work, strengthen your decision making, and feel more grounded as you navigate the early stages of your counseling career.
My clinical work has focused on anxiety, OCD, and perfectionism, and I especially enjoy supporting thoughtful, high-achieving therapists who want to:
build confidence in their clinical skills
strengthen case conceptualization
navigate self-doubt and perfectionism
feel more effective and at ease in the therapy room
In supervision, we may focus on:
Case presentations and clinical discussions
Ethical decision-making support
Review of case notes and other documentation
Audio recordings and/or direct observation
Role playing and skill building
Discussions related to self-care, burnout prevention, theoretical orientation, and professional development

How Clinical supervision works in georgia
Clinical Supervision Designed to Help You Navigate Georgia’s Licensure Requirements.
Working toward LPC licensure in Georgia involves more than simply completing hours. It also means having the right guidance, structure, and support along the way. I understand that the licensing process can feel confusing at first, and part of my role is to help you feel more confident in navigating both the clinical and administrative tasks of supervision.
The Georgia Composite Board requires clinical supervisors to hold certification as either a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) through the Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia, or an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) through the National Board of Certified Counselors. I earned my CPCS certification (#476) in 2015 after completing 24 hours of supervisor training, and I provide supervision designed to help you better understand the licensure process while continuing to grow in your clinical work.
Supervison Format
Supervision can be completed in either an individual or group format:
Individual supervision includes 1–2 supervisees and is held twice per month for 1.5 hours
Group supervision may include up to 6 supervisees (although I cap my groups at 4) and is held twice per month for 1.5 - 2 hours
What to Expect in Clinical Supervision
If we work together, here are a few important things to know:
We will sign a supervision contract, outlining the supervision process, expectations, and responsibilities
You will need to obtain paid employment as a counselor in order to complete your directed experience and supervision hours concurrently
You will need to provide proof of professional liability insurance (I recommend CPH & Associates or HPSO)
You will be expected to attend each session prepared to discuss client cases and clinical questions
We are both required to maintain documentation of each supervision session that includes the date, duration, and summary (I will provide you with copies of all of the required documentation)
My goal is to make the supervision process feel as clear, supportive, and manageable as possible while helping you build confidence in your role as a therapist.
Virtual Group Clinical Supervision
Group clinical supervision offers a supportive and affordable way to work toward LPC licensure in Georgia while learning alongside other associate-level counselors.
In addition to meeting supervision requirements, group supervision gives you the opportunity to:
Learn from a variety of clinical perspectives and theoretical approaches
Strengthen case conceptualization and treatment planning skills
Receive feedback, support, and encouragement from peers
Feel less isolated during the licensure process
Group supervision can be a valuable space for both professional growth and community.

Yes! Telesupervision is allowed in Georgia and meets all the requirements set by the Georgia Composite Board for LPC licensure.
Online supervision allows you to complete your supervision sessions remotely, saving time on travel while still receiving the same level of guidance, support, and case review as in-person supervision. Sessions can be scheduled individually or in a small group setting, depending on your preference.
I use the HIPAA-compliant platform doxy.me to ensure privacy and confidentiality during all online supervision sessions.
