In the United States, each state has their own set of requirements to become a licensed professional and provide services to that state’s residents within the scope of that license, whether through in-person means or by Teletherapy. Licensure is generally stipulated for independent practice, as well as to fulfill particular professional functions (clinical testing, psychological assessments, home studies, etc.) and third-party payor requirements to meet insurance, company policies, state statute requirements. 

There may be levels of licensure within each profession based on that state’s rules related to education, experience, supervision, and examination. Each state's boards will also outline the steps for license renewal, board complaints and violations, changes of address, and reciprocity considerations for clinicians who desire to add that state to their practice locations.
