Guide
Your Guide to Completing Your MN Clinical Supervision Plan Online
Welcome! As you navigate your clinical hours, Join The Constellation is here to serve as your dedicated outside reflective and additional supervision provider. Because you are maintaining your primary employment elsewhere, this plan allows the Minnesota Board of Social Work (BOSW) to legally recognize our specialized clinical supervision hours toward your independent license.
Because we operate entirely virtually, we use the Board's secure digital portal to execute this document together. Follow these instructions to add us to your supervision network.
📥 Step 1: Download Your Workspace Materials
Before entering data into the state portal, download the fillable PDF to review the mandatory text fields with your Constellation supervisor.
Action: Click to download the Official MN Clinical Supervision Plan PDF.
Note: Use this file to map out your contact details and review the clinical definitions before final submission.
💻 Step 2: Access the Board Portal
The Minnesota Board manages all official supervised practice tracking through an individual tracking system.
Head over to the Minnesota Board of Social Work Online Services Account Login Portal.
Log into your account using your LGSW or LISW credentials.
Navigate to your main licensee dashboard and select Submit a Supervision Plan.
📝 Step 3: Set Your Status & Employment Details
Because you are adding an outside supervision provider to your existing clinical work, pay close attention to these portal selections:
Plan Type: Select Revised Plan and check the box for Additional Supervisor.
Employment Section: Do not list Join The Constellation as your employer. Enter the exact legal name and address of the primary agency where you are currently employed and physically accumulating your practice hours.
✍️ Step 4: Link Your Constellation Supervisor
To route the digital document to your external supervisor for their legal sign-off, add our credentials to your plan:
Select Add Supervisor in the portal interface.
Input your assigned Constellation supervisor's full legal name, Nora Smyth and my active Minnesota LICSW License Number (#23810).
Enter their direct corporate email address: truenorth@jointheconstellation.com.
📄 Step 5: Complete the Clinical Practice Addendum
The online portal will prompt you to attach a Detailed Description of Clinical Social Work Practice. This addendum outlines the specific scope of clinical work you perform at your primary job, which will serve as the core focus of our reflective supervision sessions.
Ensure your written text addresses these three vital areas:
Client Population: Outline the demographic range and the clinical diagnoses you treat at your primary agency.
Clinical Modalities: Detail the specific psychotherapeutic modalities (e.g., CBT, DBT, EMDR) you utilize.
Diagnostic Process: Explicitly define your role in utilizing the DSM-5 and specific clinical screening tools to determine a client's differential diagnosis.
🚀 Step 6: Electronically Sign & Route
Review your data, read the final licensing attestations, and click Submit.
The state system will automatically generate a secure email link and push the digital file to your Constellation supervisor’s portal dashboard.
Your supervisor will log into their portal, verify the specific hours of one-on-one or group reflective supervision allocated per month, attach their required 30-hour training credentials, and execute the final digital sign-off.
