After that, you need a 60-hour master\u2019s degree in counseling or clinical social work from a CACREP-accredited program. The final requirement of graduate school is a 700-hour internship.<\/p><p>After that, you apply for your provisional license, which means you are working under someone else\u2019s license. A Provisionally Licensed Counselor (PPC) must complete 3,000 supervised clinical hours and pass a national licensing exam to become fully licensed.
