    North Carolina LCSWA hour tracker.

    HourPath logs LCSWA hours in the exact categories the North Carolina licensure board for your track (LCMHC, Social Work or MFT) counts, so direct client contact, supervision and the one-to-one supervision floor are separated as you go instead of reconstructed at application time. Progress is measured against 21 NCAC 63 .0210, and when the rule changes the tracker changes with it.
