In the USA it really depends upon which state you are in, and if you move (as a T), if the state to which you move has reciprocity with the other. Meaning, there are a whole lot of terms and definitions and guidelines for those who do counselling/therapy.

There are also Counselling psychologists... so don't limit your thinking or searching. The APA does restrict licensing to those who are qualified. The state usually restricts the terms for those who wish to hang out a shingle. Unless you are licensed in some way, you cannot use a "protected" term. Most Clinical Psychologists have private practices, doing psychotherapy with patients.

But having a license doesn't necessarily make one a good therapist. I'm sure you know that. Some times you can get the best advice from a good friend. :)
