Connecticut licenses Psychologists through the Connecticut Department of Public Health (Psychologist Licensure). Licensure for independent practice generally requires a doctoral degree in psychology (PhD, PsyD, or EdD) from an accredited program, a period of supervised professional experience, and a passing score on the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). Verify current licensing, PSYPACT, supervised-experience, renewal, and continuing-education requirements directly with the Connecticut Department of Public Health (Psychologist Licensure).

The state has enacted PSYPACT (the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact). Psychologists who hold an E.Passport or IPC can practice telepsychology into, and provide temporary in-person practice in, this state and other PSYPACT states without a separate full license. Some enacting states have an effective date before they begin participating.
Connecticut has enacted PSYPACT and is listed as a participating member state per psypact.gov, allowing telepsychology and temporary in-person practice across member states via the ASPPB E.Passport/IPC. Verify current PSYPACT status and authorization to practice with the Connecticut Department of Public Health.
Connecticut has enacted PSYPACT. License portability may be available by endorsement/reciprocity, through ASPPB credentialing (e.g., the CPQ or Certificate of Professional Qualification), and — for cross-state telepsychology — through PSYPACT where the state participates. Verify endorsement eligibility and compact participation with the Connecticut Department of Public Health (Psychologist Licensure).
Telepsychology practice is governed by state law and board rules; in PSYPACT states, an E.Passport authorizes telepsychology into other PSYPACT states. Verify current telehealth requirements with the Connecticut Department of Public Health (Psychologist Licensure).
