I think so much of it depends on the T themselves and also their experience rather than their degree. Ex-MC and Dr. T are both PhDs, licensed psychologists, but very different in how they practice and their personalities. And ex-T, who was an LCSW, was different from either of them and had more experience. I think both LCSW and LCPC are master's level, vs. PhD or PsyD, who are PhD level. But it's really only a couple more years of schooling. I'd look more at the amount of experience and what they specialize in (like maybe they've done lots of continuing ed in a particular area, like trauma).
Thanks for this!
