Having a license to practice simply means that an individual has met a set of criteria which is set forth by the state. The competency and ethics of these individuals can be monitored by the licensing agency. Also, a particular license will usually be required by an insurance company before they will reimburse for treatment. However, there are many qualified professionals who are unlicensed (Higgins, 1998).
