The fine print most trackers miss
Virginia-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LMFT associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Virginia no longer imposes an overall maximum time limit to finish the LMFT residency, but 1,000 face-to-face client hours and 100 supervision hours must fall within the 2 years immediately before the licensure application
- 3400 hours total is above average
Built for Virginia
How ClearPath handles Virginia LMFT
- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 3,400-hour total, the 2,000-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 Virginia 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.
