What is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker? An independently licensed social worker is a professional designation for someone who is trained and licensed in providing mental health and substance abuse services without being under the supervision of another licensed individual. In Ohio, the LISW is awarded to qualified individuals by the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist (CSWMFT) Board. This board oversees the LISW’s practices and the LISW must abide by the laws and rules of this board.
