Overview

The Marriage and Family Therapy degree online emphasizes the development of research-supported counseling skills from a Christian worldview by integrating research-supported counseling techniques with a Christian worldview to prepare students for impactful careers in private practice, clinics, and community agencies.

Students from Houston Christian University gain extensive hands-on experience through supervised clinical practicums and internships while learning from a faculty of active practitioners. Whether focusing on systemic family healing or broad mental health care, graduates emerge equipped with the ethical and clinical expertise necessary to transform lives.

Online MFT Program Overview

The LMFT degree coursework provided meets the academic requirements for licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Texas. Students complete a three-semester practicum, consisting of a minimum of 700 clock hours, in a University-approved counseling setting under the supervision of a licensed marriage and family therapist supervisor, as part of the MFT degree online. Our online MFT program provides one of the shortest counseling degrees compared to other MFT programs online.

Before becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist, the graduate must pass the national licensure examination administered by the Association of Marital and Family Therapy Regulatory Board (AMFTRB) or the State of California marriage and family therapy licensure examination as well as the state MFT Jurisprudence Exam and complete a supervised work experience (3,000 hours) in marriage and family therapy services under the supervision of an LMFT-S.
