Section 86:20-13-5 - Acceptability of supervised experience

(a) Supervised experience is acceptable when it consists of the performance of behavioral health services as described in Section 1931, of the Act as described below.

(1) Supervision shall focus on the raw data from an LBP Candidate's continuing clinical practice, which may be available to the supervisor through a combination of direct observation, co-therapy, written clinical notes, and audio and video recordings.

(2) Supervision is a process clearly distinguishable from personal psychotherapy, and is contracted in order to serve professional/vocational goals.

(3) Individual supervision consists of face-to-face contact with one supervisor and one LBP Candidate.

(4) Group supervision may be conducted with two (2) to six (6) LBP Candidates and a supervisor.

(5) Technology-assisted supervision must be approved by the Board prior to the accrual of hours. Factors to be considered by the Board include: distance between approved supervisor and candidate; financial hardship on approved supervisor or candidate; physical hardship on approved supervisor or candidate; specialty credentials; and other pertinent factors.

(b) An LBP Candidate may accrue supervised experience hours in academic, governmental or private practice settings.

(c) The supervised experience is accrued in a private not-for-profit or a private for-profit practice without having an approved LBP Supervisor providing supervision, if:

(1) The LBP candidate is an employee, as defined by 86:20-1-2, that employs a person licensed in the state of Oklahoma as a Licensed Behavioral Practitioner, a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist, a Psychologist, a Physician, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor who directs and is responsible for the professional duties of the LBP Candidate and is available to the LBP candidate any time services are being rendered by the LBP candidate.

(2) The LBP Candidate is receiving supervision for licensure from an approved LBP supervisor who is not required to work at the same location as the LBP Candidate.
