2. She is not a psychiatrist.

Not even a licensed psychologist in spite what she would have us
believe from her testimony.

And why would she have to be licensed? Is she working as a therapist?
And even if she were (she is not), she could work as one without a
license while seeking a license so long as she was working under the
supervision of a qualified licensed therapist. A professor or a
consultant can work as a psychologist without a license. Got it?

I never failed to "got it".
You need a professional license to mix drinks, cut hair or paint
fingernails but you say you can be a psychologist without one. That
just demonstrates how "unprofessional" that business is considered to
be by the government in some states. (Not Florida, they all need some
kind of license)

If you are not practicing as a therapist, you do not need a license.
Read that a few times until you understand it.

When my wife got her Master's in Florida, she had to work as a therapist
for a substantial period of time under the supervision of a licensed
therapist before she could even take the exam to become licensed. I seem
to recall that "period of time" back then was a year or so. The exam
itself was a killer back then, with a high failure rate. My wife got 90%
on her first try and was one of the few of several hundred tested that
day who passed. Then, she had to study for and pass a national exam to
become a licensed "clinical" therapist. After completing studies for her
doctorate and writing her doctoral dissertation and having it accepted,
she then had to take a three-day written exam and a day-long oral exam
defending her dissertation to get her Ph.D.

That must have been a while ago. Now she would need a provisional
license according to the Fla Health Department site.
I admit, Florida has gone absolutely license happy but a government
fan like you should appreciate that.
These days even the most mundane jobs like finger nail painters and
hair braiders need a license.

Karen's understanding is that Florida's licensing exam, which was
heavily waited towards law rather than practice, was restructured to
make it a little easier. In those days, the state licensing exams were
all given in Kissimmee, at the old Tupperware Center. So, while I was
hanging around, I ran into hopeful CPA's, hopeful registered nurses, et
cetera, all taking their exams in different rooms.
