This isn’t just paperwork. It’s your career, your time, and your effort. The stakes can be high. The goal is to get it right the first time and avoid unnecessary delays.
Deficiency Letters and Denials
If your LPC application didn’t go as planned, it can feel overwhelming. Denials or deficiency letters often aren’t about your qualifications — they’re about clarity and small details that matter to the Board.
I have written many of these deficiency letters sent to licensees.
Don’t panic. Take a breath.
I create space for clarity,
even when outcomes remain uncertain.
I spent years on the Board reviewing LPC applications — personally evaluating each file, making recommendations that guided the outcome, and presenting them to the 10-member board for formal approval.
For a closer look, you can view meeting minutes at Eric Groh- Georgia Composite Board, which shows the flow of applications and the context in which they are reviewed at Board meetings.

It starts with reaching out.
Whether you’re addressing a denial or preparing an initial application, the process can be straightforward when each step is handled correctly.
I guide applicants through assembling complete, clear applications the first time — so you can move past paperwork, avoid delays, and focus on your career as a counselor. Send me a detailed message to get started.
Here are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about licensing.
Most therapists reach out because their situation isn’t straightforward. During the consultation, we review the details of your case and clarify how the board may interpret it, so you can approach the process with a clearer strategy.
Your consultation includes a one-hour video meeting where we review and discuss clear next steps. If questions arise or the board requests additional information, I remain available to help you think through your responses and stay with you until the board makes a final decision.
No one can guarantee a board’s decision. What I provide is perspective from inside the licensing process and guidance on how to respond thoughtfully and completely when the board asks for clarification.
Yes. Deficiency letters can vary widely depending on the details of your application and what the board believes is missing. We review your letter together and develop a response strategy tailored to your specific situation.
When past matters must be reported, the board often asks for additional explanation or documentation. I help you think through how to present the information clearly, and professionally – often bringing in legal counsel-so your response reflects the full context.
No. The consultation provides a clear roadmap to licensure that you can bring to a qualified supervisor. Some later choose supervision with me because of my familiarity with the licensing process, but it is entirely optional.
Most consultations last about 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the situation. You leave with a clearer understanding of your options and practical next steps.
