Who is responsible for any statements made when a licensee hires others to advertise for their practice?

The client
The advertising agency
The licensee/LPC
The board

The correct answer is: The licensee/LPC

The licensee or LPC is ultimately responsible for any statements made when they hire others to advertise for their practice. This accountability stems from the ethical and legal obligations that licensees have in their professional conduct. When licensed professionals delegate advertising to an agency or third party, they cannot distance themselves from the content of those advertisements. The licensing board imposes regulations that require licensees to ensure that all materials accurately reflect their qualifications and the nature of their services. Therefore, regardless of who physically creates the advertisements, the responsibility to uphold these standards falls on the licensee. This ensures that consumers receive truthful and non-deceptive information, which is integral to maintaining professional integrity in mental health services.
