To put LCSW on a resume, you need to show your education and licensing that gives you the designation. Then it will be important to focus on highlighting your skills and experience both in educational and professional social work settings.

Additionally, it will be important to note the courses you completed in university, your internship experience, as well as your state licensing.

Most people will start drafting their resume by writing down their educational and work experience; this will help you get a basic understanding of your experience and how to focus your resume on showing your LCSW credentials.

Once you have the basics down, it will be time to flesh out your descriptions to showcase your background in the most appealing way possible. Begin sentences in these sections using action verbs.

For example, "assessed patients and clients for mental health conditions, emotional disorders or addiction disorders" or "created tailored treatment plans to improve clients' well-being."

Resumes for LCSWs typically focus more on education and licensing; therefore, it will be important to highlight your educational background and how long you have been licensed, and the experience you have gained.
