S. 457.12(3)(a) and MPSW 12.01(2), Admin Code require 3,000 hours engaged in professional counseling practice of which 1,000 hours are face-to-face client contact. Telephone counseling cannot be applied to the 1,000 hours necessary for face-to-face contact, but as it is within the scope of practice of professional counseling, this may count towards the 3,000 required hours above the 1,000 hours of client contact.
