Supervision That Goes Beyond Required Hours
Grow your skills, judgment, and confidence.
Supervision is more than checking boxes. It’s a collaborative space to think critically, deepen your clinical skills, and navigate the difficult decisions that come with counseling work.
Clinical Skills & Case Conceptualization
Explore complex cases, connect theory to practice, and strengthen assessment, treatment planning, and intervention choices.
Ethics & Professional Judgment
Work through uncertainty, boundaries, documentation, difficult clinical decisions, and professional responsibilities in a supportive setting.
Your Identity as a Counselor
Develop confidence in your own clinical voice, receive actionable feedback, and grow in self-awareness and independence.
Meet Your Supervisor
Guidance that’s developmental, collaborative, and grounded in real clinical work.
I’m Joshua Freeman, a Virginia board-approved LPC and LMFT resident supervisor, Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), and Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and Texas. I’m also the owner of Counsel RVA, where I work alongside clinicians navigating the realities of counseling practice.
My supervision is informed by the Integrated Developmental Model (IDM). Rather than expecting every resident to need the same kind of guidance, I adapt supervision to your current skill, confidence, self-awareness, and level of independence.
We can explore anxiety, trauma, EMDR-informed work, couples and relationship concerns, and the practical demands of ethical, evidence-informed clinical care. My goal isn’t to give you a script for every situation—it’s to help you learn how to think as a counselor.

Questions About Virginia Supervision
Answers before you take the next step.
Practical information about supervision requirements, meeting options, and the application process.
Do you supervise Virginia LPC and LMFT residents?
Yes. I offer supervision for Virginia Residents in Counseling pursuing LPC licensure and qualifying Residents in Marriage and Family Therapy pursuing LMFT licensure, subject to the applicable board requirements, suitability, and availability.
Can clinical supervision take place online in Virginia?
Yes, where permitted by the applicable Virginia Board regulations. For LPC residency, current regulations allow supervision through secured technology that maintains confidentiality and provides real-time visual contact. In-person meetings in the Richmond area may also be available. We will confirm the appropriate format for your license pathway. Review Virginia’s LPC residency regulation.
What are the current Virginia LPC residency supervision-hour requirements?
Under the Virginia LPC regulation reviewed in November 2026, residency includes at least 2,000 hours of direct client contact and 200 hours of supervision, generally between one and four supervision hours per 40 hours of work experience; group supervision may count for no more than half of the 200 hours. Confirm current requirements directly with the Virginia Board, especially if your circumstances are unusual or you are pursuing LMFT rather than LPC licensure. Read the current regulation.
What is your approach to supervision?
I draw on the Integrated Developmental Model (IDM), adapting support and feedback as supervisees develop competence, confidence, self-awareness, and professional independence. We emphasize ethical judgment, conceptualization, and growth in real clinical practice.
What paperwork will I need to begin?
Initial materials may include:
- An updated resume or CV
- Proof of current professional liability insurance
- Applicable Virginia resident license and supervisory-contract documentation
- Additional onboarding materials as requested, such as background screening or references
The precise documentation depends on your role and licensure pathway.
Do you offer group supervision and what does supervision cost?
Individual and group arrangements are available based on scheduling and fit. The currently published ranges are $85–$100 for individual sessions and $45–$50 for group sessions. We will confirm your arrangement and cost before starting.
What if I haven’t received my Virginia resident license yet?
You can inquire before starting residency so we can discuss a possible supervisory relationship. Virginia requires appropriate approval and a supervisory contract before counting clinical residency hours; review the official Resident in Counseling application guidance for current steps.
