Can a Licensed Professional Counselor transfer a license to Arkansas as a military spouse?
Yes. Arkansas is a member of the Counseling Compact, so a Licensed Professional Counselor holding a multistate/compact license can practice in AR without re-applying. Explicit military-spouse provision: practice on home-state license in any Compact state, plus expedited home-license process when moving.
