We share major wins and warnings for Ohio counselors: streamlined licensure, a new path to cross-state practice, civil rights amendments with clinical stakes, a brief but chilling federal funding scare, and a push to document insurer barriers that block care. We close with a reminder to seek support, protect your capacity, and stay engaged.
• new single-exam pathway from LPC to LPCC and required supervision documentation
• counseling compact launch and steps to apply for privileges in Arizona and Minnesota
• equal rights and marriage amendments with mental health implications
• federal grant termination letters and fast reversal after bipartisan pressure
• how to submit insurer delay and denial examples to support provider-friendly bills
• self-care, supervision, and peer support as professional necessities
