The practice also includes premarital counseling, child counseling, divorce or separation counseling and other relationship counseling.

Requirements for licensure include a related doctoral or two-year master's degree, passage of two comprehensive examinations, and at least 3,000 hours of supervised experience. To maintain their license and keep their skills up-to-date, LMFTs are required to complete 36 hours of continuing education every 2 years.
