Many insurance companies in the US require a LCSW to reimburse. There is also a LCSW-R (I think, or maybe -S) designation that designates a higher level of training.
In my opinion, as someone who went through part of the training to become a Social Worker, the Social Work training concentrates less on theory and more on actually working with and understanding people than a Psychologist. Only a couple years less or training too.
