True or false? An LPC shall report sexual misconduct there is reasonable cause to suspect that a client has been the victim of sexual exploitation, sexual contact or therapeutic deception by another licensee or a mental health provider.

TRUE
FALSE

The correct answer is: TRUE

The correct answer is true. Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) in Texas are mandated reporters, which means they have a legal obligation to report any suspected cases of sexual misconduct involving clients. This includes situations where there is reasonable cause to believe that a client has been subjected to sexual exploitation, sexual contact, or therapeutic deception by another licensee or a mental health provider. This reporting requirement is in place to protect the welfare and safety of clients, ensuring individuals who might be vulnerable receive the necessary support and intervention. It also reflects the ethical standards set forth by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, promoting accountability within the mental health profession.
