What is a social worker?

Social Worker

A social worker is someone who may or may not have training in social work. There are many types of social workers, including clinical social workers, psychiatric social workers, and others. Many social workers hold a master's degree or doctorate in family and psychology related issues. Some are licensed. A social worker trained in an accredited school will hold a M.S.W. degree or D.S.W. A licensed social worker will typically have a L.C.S.W. behind their name. This means they have gone through state licensing requirements and testing.
