How to Become an Approved Clinical Supervisor in Wyoming (LCSW Guide)

If you're an LCSW in Wyoming seeking to guide future clinicians, it's crucial to understand the Wyoming clinical supervisor requirements. This article covers eligibility criteria, required CE, pitfalls to avoid—and how the Telehealth Certification Institute (TCI) can help you meet the Wyoming LCSW supervision CE requirements.

🧑‍⚖️ Supervisor Eligibility Requirements

Under Wyoming Administrative Code Rule 1-3 (k) and Rule 18-2, to qualify as a Designated Qualified Clinical Supervisor (DQCS):

• You must hold a Wyoming independent practice license such as an LCSW.

• You need at least two (2) years of independent post-licensure practice.

• You must have four (4) years of post-graduate professional experience in your discipline prior to providing supervision.

• You must complete supervisor training: either a graduate-level clinical supervision course or at least three (3) contact hours of CE in clinical supervision.

• The Board reviews and approves your DQCS status via submitted documentation and forms.

• You must be free from any disciplinary action brought against you by any jurisdiction. (The Board may grant exceptions if consistent with the public interest.)

📚 Continuing Education (CE) Requirements for License Renewal

While Wyoming does not require additional CE specifically for clinical supervisors after initial DQCS approval, below are the general CE requirements for all LCSWs, per Rule 14-3 and Rule 14-4:

• ✅ 45 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years

• 📌 At least 3 hours in ethics

• 📌 At least 3 hours in suicide prevention

• 🗂️ CE must be completed within the current renewal cycle

• 📁 Licensees must retain documentation for 2 years

• ⛔ Excess hours cannot be carried forward to the next cycle

⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid

To ensure supervision hours are accepted:

• Supervisee must be registered: A Supervision Agreement must be submitted and approved before supervision begins.

• Document every session properly: Use VESE forms and include date, duration, format (e.g., face-to-face), and supervisor signature.

• Supervisor must already meet requirements at the time supervision occurs—if approved before training, the CE must be completed during current renewal.

• Avoid dual relationships that could compromise ethics—states this under the rule definitions (Rule 1-3(k)).
