Progress
CA LMFT
Whether you're an AMFT, APCC, or ASW, SparkHours is your BBS hours log.
The old way
Any of this ring a bell?
You're tallying hours across spreadsheet tabs, hoping the formula in cell G47 is doing what you think it's doing.
Your tracking tool logs hours fine. Getting a supervisor signature still means printing, chasing, scanning, and filing, every week.
You have a question about supervision requirements or hour categories. Where do you even find the answer? The BBS handbook is 40 pages of legal language, and nobody picks up the phone.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Log, sign, track. That's the whole workflow.
Set up in five minutes. Use it every week until you hit your hours. Always know exactly where you stand.
Log your hours
Pick the week, select your site and supervisor, enter your hours by category. SparkHours organizes everything into the BBS groupings automatically.
Get it signed
Hit submit and your supervisor gets a secure email link. They review the summary and sign electronically. Usually takes under a minute. They don't need an account.
Watch your progress
Your dashboard shows total hours, weekly pace, and a projected completion date based on your actual numbers. You won't guess or calculate by hand.
Everything the BBS expects, built into one tool.
Supervisor signatures, one or many at a time
Your supervisor gets a secure link, reviews your summary, and signs electronically. Send one week or twelve in a single email. Each Weekly Log is completed and signed weekly. Every signature is hashed and timestamped with a full audit trail. Learn more about our e-signatures.
AI-powered BBS guidance
SparkHours includes a built-in AI assistant trained on the official BBS handbooks for LMFT, LPCC, and LCSW. Ask about supervision requirements, the 90-day rule, hour categories, or any step in the licensing process. It knows your license type and your progress. Learn more about the AI Assistant.
Dual licensure in one account
Are you pursuing LMFT and LPCC at the same time? It's more common than you'd think. SparkHours keeps both license tracks in one account, with separate dashboards, separate hour totals, and separate form exports.
Practicum & fieldwork tracking
Your practicum has different rules than your associate phase. SparkHours tracks them separately with the right supervision requirements, category caps, and hour limits. We partner with schools to match their exact practicum requirements. Learn more about practicum tracking.
Official BBS forms, ready to file
SparkHours exports the weekly log form your track requires, plus the In-State Experience Verification form you submit at the end. Both come pre-filled from your logged hours, ready for supervisor signature.
Real-time compliance checking
SparkHours checks supervision requirements and weekly hour limits as you go. It warns you before you hit a category maximum.
Every track has its own rules.
All three require 3,000 total hours, though only the LMFT track counts hours earned before your degree. SparkHours checks your supervision requirements as you go.
