At least 25 of the 50 annual direct supervision hours must be individual and in person; the other 25 can be virtual only if the supervisor has completed virtual-supervision training.

Social Work (LCSW)

Secure video supervision can count with no set cap, but the board favors substantial in-person time and must approve your supervision plan first.

  • Board must approve the supervision plan before supervision begins
  • Plan must describe modalities and list one-on-one in-person hours
  • Clinical supervisor must be an LICSW

Alabama State Board of Social Work Examiners · Ala. Admin. Code r. 850-X-3-.04(2)(i), (j); 850-X-3-.05(1)(e)

Marriage & Family Therapy (LMFT)

Supervision can be in person or by live two-way video with an approved MFT supervisor trained in telesupervision, and the current rules set no cap on video hours.

  • Video must be simultaneously interactive both visually and orally
  • Supervisor: AAMFT/ABEMFT Approved Supervisor or Candidate trained in telesupervision
  • Board must approve the supervision contract

Psychology

Alabama requires no postdoctoral supervision, and its internship rule calls for face-to-face supervision without saying whether video counts, so confirm with the board.

  • No postdoctoral supervised experience is required for licensure
  • Non-accredited internships need 2+ hours a week of face-to-face individual supervision
  • APA/CPA-accredited internships meet the requirement automatically
