Can a Licensed Professional Counselor transfer a license to Oklahoma as a military spouse?
Yes. Oklahoma is a member of the Counseling Compact, so a Licensed Professional Counselor holding a multistate/compact license can practice in OK without re-applying. Explicit military-spouse provision: practice on home-state license in any Compact state, plus expedited home-license process when moving.
Your counseling licensing board in Oklahoma
Every Oklahoma licensing board, including the State Board of Behavioral Health Licensure that licenses professional counselors, must establish a procedure to expedite license endorsement or issue a temporary license for the spouse of an active-duty servicemember transferred to the state.
