Last reviewed July 30, 2026 ### A role, not a current FCB credential Mental Health Therapist is a general job label in this catalog, not a current Florida Certification Board credential. Florida separately regulates clinical social work, marriage and family therapy, and mental health counseling under Chapter 491. The current Florida Certification Board directory does not list “MHT” as a standalone credential. A job title does not replace any license or certification required to perform regulated duties. Evidence[Florida Certification Board](https://flcertificationboard.org/credentials/ "Credentials")[Florida Legislature](https://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm/Ch0951/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499%2F0491%2F0491.html "Florida Statutes chapter 491") ### How to evaluate an opportunity 1. 01 #### Get the job description Ask the employer for a written list of duties, population served, supervision level, and minimum credentials. 2. 02 #### Separate the title from the duties Identify whether duties include assessment, diagnosis, treatment, psychotherapy, or counseling, then verify the corresponding Chapter 491 license or supervised status. 3. 03 #### Verify with the right authority Confirm with the employer and the relevant board, agency, or credentialing entity what authorization each duty requires. Evidence[Florida Certification Board](https://flcertificationboard.org/credentials/ "Credentials")[Florida Legislature](https://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm/Ch0951/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499%2F0491%2F0491.html "Florida Statutes chapter 491") ### What to confirm Classification **Occupational role or title; not a standalone FCB credential** Scope **Identify whether duties include assessment, diagnosis, treatment, psychotherapy, or counseling, then verify the corresponding Chapter 491 license or supervised status.** Requirements **Depend on actual duties, setting, payer, and employer policy.** Evidence[Florida Certification Board](https://flcertificationboard.org/credentials/ "Credentials")[Florida Legislature](https://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm/Ch0951/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499%2F0491%2F0491.html "Florida Statutes chapter 491") ### How to stay eligible 1. 01 #### Maintain your actual credentials If the role depends on another license or certification, follow that credential’s continuing-education and renewal calendar. 2. 02 #### Review changes in duties Recheck requirements whenever duties, supervision, employer, or population served changes. Evidence[Florida Certification Board](https://flcertificationboard.org/credentials/ "Credentials")[Florida Legislature](https://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm/Ch0951/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499%2F0491%2F0491.html "Florida Statutes chapter 491") ### Do not assume equivalence MHT is not equivalent to a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), provisional license, or registered intern status. Verify the exact Chapter 491 authorization before providing clinical services. Evidence[Florida Certification Board](https://flcertificationboard.org/credentials/ "Credentials")[Florida Legislature](https://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm/Ch0951/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499%2F0491%2F0491.html "Florida Statutes chapter 491") ### Planning tip Keep the employer’s written answer about credentials, supervision, and authorized duties before enrolling in training. Evidence[Florida Certification Board](https://flcertificationboard.org/credentials/ "Credentials")[Florida Legislature](https://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm/Ch0951/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499%2F0491%2F0491.html "Florida Statutes chapter 491") Available in Florida ## Courses and programs 47 options [ Package · Accredited programs ### Mental Health Training Courses 84 credit hours View package](/en/courses/bundles/Mental-Health-Training-Courses?state=Florida)[ Course · Accredited programs ### Addiction Disorders 4 credit hours View course](/en/courses/details/Addiction-Disorders?state=Florida)[ Course · Accredited programs ### Art Therapy for Mental Health and Wellbeing 2 credit hours View course](/en/courses/details/Art-Therapy-for-Mental-Health-and-Wellbeing?state=Florida)[ Course · Accredited programs ### Care Coordination for Mental Health Professionals 15 credit hours View course](/en/courses/details/Care-Coordination-for-Mental-Health-Professionals?state=Florida)[ Course · Accredited programs ### Chapter 415 of the Florida Statutes (F.S.) 2 credit hours View course](/en/courses/details/Chapter-415-of-the-Florida-Statutes-\(F.S.\)?state=Florida)[ Course · Accredited programs ### Child Abuse 2 credit hours View course](/en/courses/details/Child-Abuse?state=Florida)[ Course · Accredited programs ### Coordination, linkage and monitoring 13 credit hours View course](/en/courses/details/Coordination,-linkage-and-monitoring?state=Florida)[ Course · Accredited programs ### COVID-19 2 credit hours View course](/en/courses/details/COVID-19?state=Florida) Show more (39 remaining) Explore your path ## Related guides [Licenses in Florida](/en/licenses-in-florida)[Mental Health in Florida](/en/mental-health-in-florida) Straight answers ## Frequently asked questions Is MHT a Florida license? It does not appear as a standalone credential in the current FCB directory. Evaluate the actual duties and the credentials that apply. Evidence[Florida Certification Board](https://flcertificationboard.org/credentials/ "Credentials")[Florida Legislature](https://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm/Ch0951/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499%2F0491%2F0491.html "Florida Statutes chapter 491") What should I ask the employer? Ask which license or certification is required, who supervises the work, which duties are clinical, and what training is accepted.
