    North Carolina LMFTA hour tracker.

    HourPath logs LMFTA 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 31 .0204, and when the rule changes the tracker changes with it.
