Licensed Professional Counselors can earn between $120–$131 per hour. If you’re looking to launch or expand your private practice, there are platforms that make it simple to start accepting insurance, increase your earnings with competitive rates, and begin seeing insured clients sooner. These tools are free to use and require no long-term commitment.
To qualify, you must hold a Master’s-level counseling license (LPC, LPCC, LCPC, LCPCS, or LPCC-S, depending on the state), have an active NPI number, and carry malpractice insurance. This option is ideal for clinicians ready to grow their practice by taking insurance and helping clients who might otherwise struggle to access care. Many providers nationwide have already expanded their caseloads this way, gaining stability through predictable bi-weekly payments. Only fully licensed professionals are eligible; if your licensure is still pending, you can reapply once it is complete.
