As AB said, they don't have enough resources to properly investigate even the complaints from clients with convincing evidence because they get tons of them every year. Who would bother to look at anonymous reports whether from professionals or not?
What does exactly your state licensing board do when they get reports from professionals who don't name the clients they have received information from? How exactly do they investigate it if there is no one to question?

I don’t profess to know
exactly how my state board does these things or why. My guess would be that depending on what is being reported exactly, the therapist’s testimony is given enough merit for further inquiry of some sort. Calling the reported therapists colleagues if they have any might be a reasonable start. In my case, my ex-t confessed to her colleague that she entered an inappropriate dual relationship with me. My ex-t is now being counseled for this. So if the board were to call any one of my ex-t’s colleague’s, there is validation (at least for part of my story). Also, my t has been witness to the trauma my ex-t caused me. I’ve shown her drunk text messages and emails from my ex-t. Maybe a colleague knows of my ex-t’s alcohol problems. I have shared with my t detailed, very strange, personal information about ex-t that might lend credibility. And maybe there are more complaints out there that would also support the report. Who knows?? Apparently my state recognizes not every situation is a black and white 2-piece puzzle??

I really hope it doesn't come down to me having to refuse information to anyone. That's not how I want this to resolve.... J is my therapist, and I like to think he's on my side... same with Group T

I hope you aren't put in the awkward position of your t requesting your ex-t's last name. J sounds like he is for sure on your side. He was the one who told you to be selfish, right? As for having to refuse info to anyone else, confidentiality will prohibit you from having to do so. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
