Clinical Supervision for Texas LMSWs
Current Clinical Studio provides structured clinical supervision for LMSWs pursuing LCSW licensure in Texas.
Supervision is designed for social workers who want licensure support and clinical growth, not just hour accumulation. Together, we examine clinical decision-making, identify areas for continued development, and strengthen the knowledge, judgment, and professional responsibility required for independent clinical practice.
Our structure is designed to support Texas LMSW clinical supervision requirements when the supervisee maintains eligibility, attendance, and required documentation.
Small-group clinical supervision
Groups are intentionally limited to four Texas LMSWs pursuing LCSW licensure.
Groups meet through live video on the first, second, and third Tuesday of each month.
Meeting time is 6:30–7:45 p.m. Central Time.
One additional 75-minute individual supervision session is scheduled every other month.
Virtual supervision is available throughout Texas.
Limited in-person individual supervision may be available in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
The standard 24-month schedule is designed to provide 105 supervision hours, which exceeds Texas’s 100-hour minimum, though supervisees remain responsible for maintaining attendance, documentation, and overall licensure compliance.
What we address
Biopsychosocial and diagnostic assessment.
Case formulation and clinical decision-making.
Treatment planning and intervention selection.
Risk assessment, safety planning, and crisis response.
Documentation and professional accountability.
Ethics, boundaries, and scope of practice.
Use of the professional self.
Complex family and systems dynamics.
Medical, aging, caregiving, grief, and end-of-life concerns.
Interdisciplinary and organizational challenges.
Professional identity and preparation for independent practice.
Meetings include focused case consultation, rotating clinical-development topics, discussion of urgent concerns, and follow-up steps or action items.
This group may be a strong fit if you
Hold an active Texas LMSW license and are pursuing LCSW licensure in Texas.
Want supervision that supports both licensure requirements and clinical growth.
Want to strengthen clinical assessment, diagnostic reasoning, case formulation, treatment planning, documentation, and intervention selection.
Work with adults and/or older adults.
Want direct, respectful, and specific feedback.
Value structure, preparation, accountability, and active participation.
Work in healthcare, behavioral health, aging services, long-term care, managed care, government, community programs, or veteran services, as long as the role supports supervised clinical social work practice.
Fit is determined by the supervisee’s actual job duties, population, professional-development needs, and the supervisor’s ability to provide competent oversight. Final fit is determined after reviewing the supervisee’s license status, job description, setting, and clinical responsibilities.
Supervision Style
Clinical supervision is supportive and developmental, but it is also evaluative.
Supervisees are encouraged to ask questions, acknowledge uncertainty, and bring forward difficult cases. They are also expected to prepare, participate actively, respond to feedback, and take responsibility for their continued professional development.
Feedback is provided directly, respectfully, and with clear expectations.
Virtual meetings are conducted through live video in a private setting. Supervisees must participate from a private location and remain visible and engaged throughout the session.

Request a Supervision Consultation
Before You Apply: Important Eligibility Notes
Applicants must hold an active Texas LMSW license.
Supervision begins only after review of license status, job duties, practice setting, and supervision fit.
Supervisees are responsible for maintaining their own licensure records and compliance with Texas requirements.
A written supervision agreement and required documentation process are established before supervision begins.
Changes in employment, setting, or role must be disclosed promptly because they may affect supervision fit and compliance.
Before supervision begins, Current Clinical Studio reviews each applicant’s license, employment setting, job description, clinical responsibilities, and professional-development needs, and determines whether the role supports supervised clinical social work practice.
The consultation provides an opportunity to discuss:
Your current role and clinical duties.
The supervision format and schedule.
Your professional goals.
Program expectations and fees, and documentation expectations.
Whether the supervision arrangement is an appropriate fit.
Submitting a request for supervision consultation does not guarantee acceptance.
