The Anon is confused and understandable given their likely not in the counseling field.
Currently, the Board of Counseling (ie the counseling field) allows anyone who meets their requirements to become counselors. This is not attributed to any 3rd party agency or accreditation. The purpose of the post was to show that Virginia limiting services only harms the community.
You can see the requirements here: https://www.dhp.virginia.gov/Forms/counseling/LPC/LPC_Licensure_Process_Handbook.pdf
I am sure anon has motives for trying to block other boards and we might know what those were if they were not hiding behind a keyboard.
You have to ask yourself why this person continues to comment without using their name or affiliation while constantly attacking others. There is a reason this is happening.
Further, more likely than not this is going to end up in the courts because under the First Amendment of the US Constitution the government cannot force association with a organization.
Further, the 10th Amendment gives the powers not delegated to the United States to the states, not corporations such as the Behavior Analyst Certification Board or the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts.
