A certified independent social worker may evaluate and intervene in complex difficulties in psychosocial functioning. Intervention plans may include counseling of individuals, families, and groups; advocacy; referral to community resources; and facilitation of organizational change to meet social needs based on a psychosocial evaluation. A certified independent social worker may practice social work independently but may engage in psychotherapeutic activities only under the supervision of a person authorized by the board or by the department of health services to supervise the practice of clinical social work.
