Essential workers must be acknowledged in all modalities.
 

At a time of pandemic, with the country in various states of quarantine, and with the dire need for mental health counseling in all its delivery modes made obvious, it is only just and fair, and respectful of these essential workers, to give them all credit towards licensure. This should be obvious, not something requiring petition. Anything less causes harm to all, including state government.
