How ClearPath handles Illinois LMFT
- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 3,000-hour total, the 1,000-hour direct-client minimum, and the supervision ratios at the time you log it.
- Auto-filled official form. When you're ready to apply, ClearPath fills the official form of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) from your records. It is the same PDF the board accepts, not a reproduction.
- Supervisor portal. Your supervisor logs in, reviews your weekly entries, and e-signs without printing. No paper PDFs, no scanning.
- AI hour reviewer. Ask plain-language questions about your log ("what week did I miss a supervision hour?") and get the exact answer in seconds.
- $25/year. One quarter the price of the legacy tracker.
