The fine print most trackers miss

Michigan-specific rules

These are the rules that catch LMFT associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.

  • At least half of both practicum and post-degree direct client contact hours must include families, couples, or other family subsystems physically present in the therapy room
  • If the 1,000 post-degree direct-client-contact hours are completed in Michigan, the candidate should hold a Michigan educational limited license while accruing them
  • Michigan does not require continuing education for renewal

Built for Michigan

How ClearPath handles Michigan LMFT

  • Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 1,300-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 actual Michigan Board of Social Work form from your records. Not a reproduction — the same PDF the board accepts.
  • 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. 50% of every Pro subscription goes to Shane's Coffee — a vocational training program for people living with mental health challenges and disabilities.

Licensure is hard enough.
