Among the professions listed, a Counseling Psychologist is the most likely to have a doctoral degree. Counseling psychologists typically hold either a Ph.D. or a Psy.D. in psychology. While Marriage and Family Therapists, Substance Abuse Social Workers, and Mental Health Counselors can also possess advanced degrees (such as a master's degree), a doctoral degree is a standard requirement for counseling psychologists in order to practice independently and provide psychological assessments and therapy.
