Practicum Survival Bundle (2026)

Three tools for the practicum year in one bundle: an hours tracker a board reviewer will believe, a supervision prep kit, and a first sessions toolkit.

What you get

• An Excel hours workbook with a full ledger, a dashboard against your board’s numbers, ratio checks and printable sign-off sheets
• A supervision prep guide: a ten minute case presentation, question upgrades, a script for disagreeing, and a feedback log
• A first sessions guide: the consent conversation, a four movement intake, and responses to the six moments that freeze new clinicians

Who it is for

For trainees in counseling, social work, psychology, and family therapy. A record keeping and professional development resource, not legal advice and not a statement of any board's requirements. Verify every requirement with your licensing board directly.

Why it exists

Three problems arrive in the same year, and none of them were on the syllabus. You have to log several thousand hours in a way a board reviewer will believe. You have to use a supervision hour that nobody taught you how to use. And you have to sit in a room with a real client roughly a week after your last role-play. This bundle is the three tools, at $13 less than buying them apart.

The hours

An Excel workbook with a full ledger, category dropdowns, a dashboard against your own board's numbers, and ratio checks that catch a supervision shortfall in month two rather than month eleven. Printable sign-off sheets, because signatures are easy to collect while your supervisor still shares a hallway with you and nearly impossible afterward. The requirements tab is yours to configure, with a citation column recording where each number came from, so no state's rules are baked in wrong.

The hour

The supervisee's side of the table. A ten minute case presentation structured backwards, the ask first and only the context the ask requires. A table of question upgrades that replaces "am I doing this right" with questions that expose your reasoning. A script for disagreeing with your supervisor without damaging the relationship. And the five minute feedback log that turns three months of conversation into evidence when evaluation season arrives.

The room

The ninety second consent conversation, including how to disclose trainee status without apologizing for it. A four movement intake structure. Direct wording for the questions you have never said out loud. Then the six moments that freeze new clinicians, each with a response: they cry, they go silent, they ask if you are a student, they insist nothing is wrong while the referral says otherwise, and the one where you realize mid-session you are out of your depth.

Format

Six files. An Excel workbook, three printable PDF guides running 18 pages together, and editable Word worksheets with a printable PDF set of the same. Works in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice.
