Actually an LCSW is quite capable of doing therapy. It depends on the coursework emphasis in college. My daughter has her MSW but she doesn't do therapy because her concentration was in casework and not actual therapy. Theoretically she could be a therapist but she currently does not have the background she would need. But some social workers are good therapists, and not all psychologists are good clinicians even though they have an advanced degree.
Thanks for this!
