The fine print most trackers miss
North Carolina-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LMFT associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Degree programs still include a 600-hour practicum, but only up to 500 clinical hours may count toward licensure.
- Approved supervision earned in the qualifying degree program may count toward licensure when it was completed under an AAMFT Approved Supervisor or accepted AAMFT Supervisor Candidate.
Built for North Carolina
How ClearPath handles North Carolina LMFT
- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 1,500-hour total, the 1,500-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 North Carolina Social Work Certification and Licensure Board 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.
