How do Wisconsin DSPS regulations influence counselor supervision requirements?

• A. No supervision is required for licensed counselors.
• B. Supervision is determined by employer only.
• C. Supervision is required only for students in training.
• D. It requires appropriate supervision according to state rules for licensed or certified counselors.

Answer: (D)

Wisconsin DSPS supervision requirements are established by state regulations that govern how licensed or certified counselors practice. The agency sets the minimum standards for supervision, and those standards specify what counts as appropriate supervision for counselors who hold or are pursuing licensure or certification. This ensures ongoing competency, ethical practice, and client protection, regardless of what an employer might require. So supervision isn’t optional or determined solely by the workplace; it must align with DSPS rules for licensed or certified counselors.
