You’ll come away feeling like, “I can do this!” Whether it’s nailing down diagnoses, theoretical approaches, or applying ethics in challenging situations, we help you get into a licensed mindset. Knowledge domains we cover in these podcasts include:Professional Practice and EthicsIntake, Assessment, & DiagnosisAreas of Clinical FocusTreatment PlanningCounseling Skills and InterventionsCore Counseling AttributesAnd, of course, the DSM-5-TR. If you listen, you might surprise yourself at how much you absorb and enjoy it along the way. Take that first step – you’ll gain confidence and valuable skills and feel confident getting ready for your licensing exam!

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really enjoy listening to Linton and Stacy in the older episodes. They are so personable and knowledgeable. Newer episodes are harder to pay attention to because it seems robotic and not natural vocal cadence (I’m suspecting AI). I’m still listening but finding it feels more like a chore than enjoying it like I did with the early episodes.

SlothEmmer · Apr 2026

This show was a gamechanger in helping me find time to study while commuting or in between classes/clients. Thank you Linton, Stacey, and Eric for the informative and in depth yet quick reviews. I passed, and recognized some questions only because I listened to this podcast. THANK YOU

:):(;)8):p · Oct 2025

Dr Hutchinson and Ms. Frost are amazing at breaking down difficult concepts and ideas. Their podcasts have saved me several times over when I took my test and in my private practice. Thank you both and Bartton too for your time, energy, dedication, commitment and support to the field of therapy, from baby therapists to seasoned ones too!

Channary · Mar 2025

I have been listening to this podcast while driving to help with the information I’ve been reading in preparation of my upcoming exams. Dr. Hutchinson and Stacy keep me intrigued throughout each episode.
