involving face-to-face client contact required to obtain a clinical social worker
license must include a number of hours, as determined by the Marriage and Family
Therapy, Professional Counseling, and Social Work Examining Board, of treatment

performing such diagnosis and treatment that is necessary to satisfy that
requirement is to be determined.
