Section 12.62.220. Supervised experience.

	(a)  To be accepted by the board, supervised experience required under AS 08.29.110(a)(6) must include experience in those professional counseling skills included in the definition of "practice of professional counseling" in AS 08.29.490.  
	(b)  Before July 1, 2007, to meet the supervised experience requirements of AS 08.29.110(a)(6), the board will accept the hours of supervised experience, accumulated by an applicant for licensure, under the supervision of a person that has not been certified as an approved counselor supervisor under 12 AAC 62.200 once that person is certified as an approved counselor supervisor.  
	(c)  Beginning July 1, 2007, to meet the supervised experience requirements of AS 08.29.110(a)(6), the board will only accept the hours of supervised experience, accumulated by an applicant for licensure, under the supervision of a person that is certified, before the supervision begins, as an approved counselor supervisor under 12 AAC 62.200.  
	(d)  Except as provided in (e) of this section, at least 50 hours of the 100 hours of face-to-face supervised experience required under AS 08.29.110(a)(6) must be accumulated by an applicant in a one-on-one setting with a supervisor certified as an approved counselor supervisor under 12 AAC 62.200. An applicant may accumulate the remaining 50 hours of supervised experience in a one-on-one setting or a group setting with a supervisor certified as an approved counselor supervisor under 12 AAC 62.200.  
	(e)  Before the supervision begins, an applicant who practices in a remote location may submit a written request to the board to allow supervision by telephonic or electronic means in lieu of the face-to-face supervision required under AS 08.29.110(a)(6). The board may approve telephonic or electronic supervision in lieu of face-to-face supervision of an applicant who practices in a remote location if the board determines that  
		(1) approved counselor supervisors are not practicing at, or within a reasonable distance of, that location; or  
		(2) the approved counselor supervisors practicing at that location cannot provide appropriate supervision because of the supervisor's relationship to the applicant, a possible conflict of interest, or other good cause shown.
