I'd like to be a therapist?

Depending on your state regulations you can counsel individuals with a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, a masters degree in counseling (LPC), a masters degree in social work (MSW), or you can get your Psy. D or Ph. D and be a fully licensed psychologist. To get your doctrine will take a lot of time and money. You will also have to make sure that clients can have their insurances cover mental health costs - which may depend on your degree. Currently, a MSW and a fully licensed psychologist are insurable but the others are not all insurable (depends on insurance companies). You can work from home but I wouldn't advise it. Some clients can become obsessive with their therapists and with them knowing where you live .... not a good thing.
