Free TX-LPCJE Practice Questions

Question 1

A 14-year-old client tells an LPC that her mother's partner struck her repeatedly the previous night. The disclosure gives the LPC reasonable cause to suspect abuse, but the clinical director is unavailable until Monday. It is Friday afternoon. What should the LPC do?

Accepted Answer

Make the authorized report now and address immediate safety; the duty cannot be delegated

Answer

Document the disclosure and wait for the director because agency reports require supervisory review

Answer

Ask the parent for permission before releasing the child's identifying information

Answer

Continue assessing until the counselor can determine that the abuse probably occurred

Question 2

A first-time LPC intentionally falsifies a client record to conceal sexual exploitation. No mitigating factors are present. Under the Texas LPC sanction schedule, the standard starting point is:

Accepted Answer

Level 1, revocation

Answer

Level 5, reprimand

Answer

Level 4, probated suspension

Answer

Level 3, suspension of less than one year

Question 3

Six years after therapy ended, an LPC and former client begin a consensual romantic relationship. The governing Texas rule treats the relationship as:

Accepted Answer

Potentially permissible only if the LPC proves consent, no exploitation, and no detriment under the required factors

Answer

Automatically permitted because the five-year prohibition has expired and no further burden applies

Answer

Automatically prohibited for life because the former therapeutic relationship can never end

Answer

Permissible once another therapist confirms the former client is stable and gives written approval

Question 4

By the end of month 17, an Associate has accumulated 3,240 supervised hours, including 1,620 direct client-contact hours. Monthly supervision was otherwise compliant. What remains before the supervised-experience requirement is satisfied?

Accepted Answer

Enough elapsed time to reach the 18-month minimum

Answer

Another 380 direct client-contact hours

Answer

Another seven months because the supervised experience must span 24 months

Answer

No additional requirement because both hour totals control

Question 5

After a court appoints an LPC as a parenting coordinator in a divorce case, one parent asks the LPC to become the parenting facilitator so recommendations can be communicated to the court. The distinction that controls is:

Accepted Answer

Coordination is confidential and outside the professional-counselor license role; facilitation is nonconfidential and governed by the professional rule

Answer

Both roles are confidential court services performed under the LPC license, so the same disclosure rules govern

Answer

Coordination is nonconfidential and regulated as counseling, while facilitation is confidential under Chapter 611

Answer

Only coordination permits communication with parents or the court; facilitators may contact collateral providers only

Question 6

Four years after taking the Texas jurisprudence examination for the Associate license, an LPC Associate applies to upgrade to LPC. The supervision documentation is complete, but no recent jurisprudence certificate is included. What is required?

Accepted Answer

New proof of successful jurisprudence completion within the six months before the upgrade

Answer

Nothing further because the original completion remains valid for every later licensure action

Answer

A new national examination instead of another jurisprudence completion

Answer

A waiver from the supervisor confirming that Texas law was reviewed during supervision

Question 7

During an active child-custody case, a parent files a complaint with the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC), asserting only that the court-appointed evaluator favored the other parent. No final judgment, dismissal, expert analysis, or court finding is included. What is the expected procedural result?

Accepted Answer

Dismiss as premature; it may be refiled after the case ends with the required support

Answer

Open a high-priority investigation because every allegation involving a custody evaluator receives priority

Answer

Hold the complaint open until the final order, then investigate based solely on the parent's disagreement

Answer

Open a regular-priority investigation now because alleged evaluator bias is outside the special complaint gate

Question 8

Supervisor status for an LPC-S expired on June 30. The Associate, unaware of the expiration, continued weekly supervision through July 28, and the LPC-S renewed on August 1. How are the July experience hours treated?

Accepted Answer

They do not count; approved supervisor status was absent in July

Answer

They count because the Associate could not reasonably know the supervisor's approval had expired

Answer

They count after the supervisor renews the status and amends the supervision record

Answer

They count if the LPC-S returns every supervision fee collected during July

Question 9

Beginning next week, an LPC plans to add a second clinician as a regular co-treater. The signed informed-consent document identifies only the original clinician, and the client has not been told about the change. When must the new arrangement be disclosed in writing?

Accepted Answer

Before the second clinician begins providing the service

Answer

At the next scheduled treatment-plan review, even if co-treatment has already begun

Answer

Only after the client asks why another clinician is participating in the sessions

Answer

Within 30 days after the co-treatment begins, with the change noted in the record

Question 10

A client alleges that a previous mental-health provider represented sexual touching as a necessary therapeutic technique. The client asks that the client's own identity not be disclosed. What is the LPC's Texas reporting obligation?

Accepted Answer

Notify the client, then report by the third business day to both the county prosecutor and the applicable licensing agency, using the permitted anonymity process

Answer

Report to BHEC only after the client signs a release authorizing disclosure of both the allegation and identity

Answer

Report only to the county prosecuting attorney, who is then responsible for notifying the applicable licensing agency

Answer

Maintain confidentiality unless the previous provider admits the conduct, remains in practice, or treats the client again
