My therapist is an LCSW also, as is my daughter's t. Ex-t was an LPC. Both t's (daughter's and mine) have told me they are mandated to report my ex-t only if I am still in danger with ex-t, or if I am incompetent. I am neither. However, either t can report my ex-t without my permission, if they want to. Both t's have offered to report ex-t multiple times but are respecting my wishes for them not to. I am actually trying to finish up the report myself to submit anyway. I highly suspect if I wind up not submitting my report for some unforeseen reason, my t would push for me to let her do the report -- and believe I would consent. My ex-t was reckless and I guess if I can't hold her accountable for what she did to me, I'll let my t do it.

Anyway, from what I've been told, LCSW reporting is not mandated unless you are in danger or incompetent but the t can still do it if they want to. I know LCSW ethics rules are the same for all throughout the States. Not sure what your state laws are though -- I'm in WI.
