How long is each initial license issued under the Licensed Professional Counselors Act valid?

Initial licensure is designed to provide a defined period for meeting the full requirements, while allowing the licensed professional to practice under supervision. In Oklahoma, that initial license lasts 18 months from the date it’s issued. This 18-month window gives you time to complete the required supervised clinical hours and to pass the licensing exam so you can upgrade to a full, unrestricted license. The period helps ensure progress is made and public protection is maintained by not leaving provisional status open-ended.
