Oregon CE Details

Oregon LPC & LMFT Renewal Information

In Oregon, Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) must renew their licenses every two years, with the renewal and CE reporting deadline falling on the licensee’s birth month. Each 24-month renewal cycle requires a minimum of 40 clock hours of continuing education (CE), including 6 hours in ethics and Oregon law, 4 hours in cultural competency, and 2 hours in suicide risk assessment, treatment, and management.Newly licensed professionals are granted a 12-month exemption from CE requirements, with full CE obligations beginning after their first renewal. For those with odd-numbered licenses transitioning to biennial renewal in 2025, only 20 CE hours are required that year, with all topic-specific requirements proportionally reduced.

CE Requirements to Be Approved as a Clinical Supervisor(LPC-S)

To maintain your status as a Board-approved clinical supervisor in Oregon, you must complete 3 hours of continuing education specifically related to clinical supervision every two years, as part of the Board’s 40-hour renewal requirement. To fulfill this supervision CE requirement, the Telehealth Certification Institute offers a variety of Individual Supervision CE Courses. These online, self-paced courses cover essential supervision topics—making it easy to stay compliant with Oregon’s Board requirements while strengthening your skills as a clinical supervisor.

CE Requirements to Be Approved as a Clinical Supervisor(MFT-S)

To become and remain eligible to provide clinical supervision in Oregon as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) or Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), licensees must meet two distinct supervision-related CE requirements:

  • Before applying for Supervisor Candidate status under OAR 833-130-0040, Oregon requires supervisors to complete 30 hours of clinical supervision training (must include systems theory for MFTs). This 30-hour training is an initial prerequisite to providing any clinical supervision to registered associates.
  • In addition to the initial training, Oregon licensees who supervise registered associates — including all on the Supervisor Registry — must complete 3 hours of continuing education in clinical supervision during each two-year license renewal cycle, as outlined in OAR 833-080-0011.
