While it is not necessary to attend an accredited counseling program to obtain counselor licensure, the benefits of graduating from an accredited counseling program, i.e., CACREP accredited,  will become increasingly important.  Note that graduate-level counseling degrees must be accredited by CACREP in order to practice in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.  In addition, a CACREP accredited counseling program focuses specifically on professional counseling as opposed to psychology, social work, or education.

Clinical mental health counselors are employed in settings such as community mental health agencies, substance abuse treatment centers, hospitals, employee assistance programs, counseling clinics, crisis and trauma centers, court services, university counseling centers, private practice/group practice, and business and industry.
