So you're wondering, what is a licensed clinical psychologist? First, you may want to learn more about what a psychologist is. A clinical psychologist is a psychologist whose training specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of psychological and behavioral problems. Other areas of specialization, by contrast, include research psychology, counseling psychology, school psychology, social psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, and neuropsychology.

A licensed psychologist is one who has met a state's requirements for licensure, which can vary from state to state but typically include providing proof of education and training, and passage of national and state exams. Psychologists maintain their licensure through payment of dues and completion of continuing education requirements.

Licensed psychologists are qualified and permitted to provide psychological services to the public.
