Counselors question pertaining to Search: If you have a MSW or LPC did you post it under "Teaching Credential" or post it under "Professional Credentials"? This application is taking up too much time! I need to finish it now!

It would be professional credentials. Having an MSW does NOT certify you to work as a teacher in schools.

That actually depends on your state if your LPC or MSW licenses you to provide instructional or student services in a K-12 school setting. I doubt the LPC does, an MSW may. The issue would matter if the MSW, etc. was your only pathway into the education profession, a recruiters search may identify you as not being licensed at all. I would put it under both, far easier to clarify to actual humans later, instead of a machine algorithm.
