Numerous online counseling certifications are available in Texas for individuals of all educational levels.  The Texas Certification Board of Addiction Professionals (TCBAP) offers the following credentials: Alcohol and Drug Counselor (ADC); Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (AADC); Certified Chemical Dependency Specialist (CCDS); and Certified Criminal Justice Addictions Professional (CCJP).  Additionally, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) credentials Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors (LCDC) and Texas Counselor Interns (CI).  CEU Matrix is an approved education provider for both TCBAP initial/recertification and DSHS recertification and we offer course packages for all of these credentials for your Texas counseling certification.

For individuals looking for online counseling programs who have yet to earn a degree, the ADC, CCJP and CI credentials are available.  These credentials all require training in addiction and/or criminal justice studies and completion of a standardized exam arranged through the state board.  The number of training hours required to become a CCJP varies according to the level of education the applicant has attained, this is reflected in our CCJP packages.

Those holding an associate’s degree are eligible to apply for their Texas LCDC .  Further requirements for the Texas LCDC include completion of the chemical dependency-specific training, 4000 hours of experience and passing the standardized exam.  Individuals holding a master’s degree in a counseling or behavioral science field are eligible for either the AADC or the CCDS credential.  These credentials also require hours of experience and completion of a standardized exam.  To learn more about credentials offered in Texas  CLICK HERE
