Why this matters
LCSW hour totals are only one part of the problem.
Most licensure delays do not come from forgetting the headline number. They come from missed supervision weeks, direct-client minimums, weekly caps, stale supervisor signatures, and logs that have to be reconstructed months later.
Use this calculator for a fast timeline check. Use ClearPath when you want the weekly record, rule checks, supervisor workflow, and official board form export to stay in one place.
