1. No Periods: Credentials should be written without periods. For example, use "PhD" instead of "Ph.D." 
2. Highest Credential Only: If a degree is required for licensure, only the highest credential should be listed. For instance, if you have an MSW and an LCSW, list only "LCSW" because the MSW is a prerequisite for the LCSW. However, if you have a PhD and an LCSW, you would list “PhD, LCSW”
