Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) Jobs & Career Guide
What is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist?
A licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) helps individuals, couples, and families to overcome a variety of emotional and psychological issues. LMFTs typically hold a master’s or doctoral degree in counseling, psychology, or a related field, and have completed additional training and clinical experience in the areas of family systems, couples therapy, and relationship dynamics.
LMFTs use evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help individuals and families improve their communication, resolve conflicts, and develop healthier relationships. They may also provide support and guidance during major life transitions, such as divorce, loss, or significant changes in family structure.
How do you become an LMFT?
Generally, it takes between 6 and 8 years to become an LMFT in the US. The length of time can vary depending on the educational path you choose, the state you live in and how long it takes you to complete the required clinical hours.
