Nebraska licenses Psychologists through the Nebraska Board of Psychology (DHHS Division of Public Health, Licensure Unit). 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 Nebraska Board of Psychology (DHHS Division of Public Health, Licensure Unit).
Doctoral degree (PhD, PsyD, or EdD) in psychology from an APA-accredited program or a DHHS/Board-approved equivalent program. Verify exact program-approval and coursework requirements with the Board.
Pass the EPPP (ASPPB) at the doctoral cutoff (reportedly a scaled score of 500) and a Nebraska board-developed/jurisprudence examination. Verify required exams and passing scores with the Board.
Approximately two years (reportedly about 4,000 hours) of supervised professional experience, including an APA-accredited or Board-approved internship plus postdoctoral supervised experience. Verify exact hour and supervision requirements with the Board.
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.
Nebraska has reportedly enacted PSYPACT and is listed as a participating/effective member; this enables telepsychology and temporary in-person practice across PSYPACT states. Confirm current status against psypact.org and verify with the Nebraska Board of Psychology.
Nebraska 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 Nebraska Board of Psychology (DHHS Division of Public Health, Licensure Unit).
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 Nebraska Board of Psychology (DHHS Division of Public Health, Licensure Unit).
