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
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 official form of the Virginia Board of Counseling 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.
