Navigating the LMFT licensure process across multiple states can be confusing, overwhelming, and surprisingly inconsistent. In this post, I share my real experience getting licensed in Florida for teletherapy, why it was the easiest state for a subsequent LMFT license, and what I’ve learned while applying for licensure in Virginia, Washington, New York, Texas, and Connecticut.
