How much does a LPC / LMHC earn in the US?

Licensed Professional Counselor / Mental Health Counselor roles we recruit are advertised at roughly $55k – $85k: $55k at entry, $70k mid-career and $85k at senior or supervisory level. Setting, caseload size and payer mix move the figure more than years of experience do. Ranges reflect what we typically see advertised on roles we recruit for in the US. They are a market guide, not a survey, and vary by setting, caseload and experience.

Is an LPC in one state an LPC everywhere?

No. Titles and hour requirements differ by state and there is no universal counseling compact yet, though the Counseling Compact is being implemented. Always check the destination board first.
