How many CE hours does an LMHC need in Hawaii?
LMHCs in Hawaii follow a CE-based model rather than a fixed hour total. Confirm current rules with the regulator.
Are there required CE topics for LMHC in Hawaii?
Hawaii does not mandate specific CE subjects for LMHC beyond the general requirement — any board-approved continuing education generally counts. Always confirm with the regulator.
Can LMHC CE be completed online in Hawaii?
Generally yes — Hawaii does not require live or interactive hours for LMHC, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: not applicable.
What else should LMHC renewals know in Hawaii?
Hawaii has NO continuing education requirement for Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) license renewal. Licenses renew triennially by June 30 (next cycles 2026, 2029, 2032). One provider page (Agents of Change) claims 40 hrs/2yr with 6 ethics, but this is not supported by the DCCA board or multiple other CE providers and appears erroneous; no CE is mandated.
