MFT Trainee supervision
in Ohio.
Ohio's MFT licensure path is overseen by a combined board that also regulates counselors and social workers. I hold an active LMFT license in Ohio and offer telehealth supervision that meets OCSWMFT requirements while grounding your clinical development in queer-affirming frameworks.

The Approach
Two frameworks.
One integrated practice.
Every supervisory relationship I hold is grounded in two frameworks that I believe belong together: the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Buddhist Psychology.
UDL means supervision is built around how you learn, not a fixed template you have to fit yourself into. Multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression aren't accommodations; they're the design.
Buddhist Psychology brings impermanence, non-attachment, and compassionate awareness into the clinical frame, for your clients and for you. We hold the work lightly without holding it carelessly.
Universal Design for Learning
Supervision structured around your learning style, not a one-size-fits-all model. Flexible engagement, multiple modalities, and a pace that serves your development.
Buddhist Psychology
Mindfulness, impermanence, and compassionate non-attachment as clinical tools, for working with clients and for sustaining yourself in the work.
Queer & Trans Affirming
Identity-affirming supervision isn't a specialty add-on. It's the foundation. You don't have to translate yourself here.
Ohio Licensing
What supervision looks like in Ohio.
Supervision requirements are set by the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board (OCSWMFT). All formats I offer (individual, group, and direct observation) are designed to meet your board's requirements while going well beyond the minimum.
Individual Supervision
- Counts toward OCSWMFT individual hours
- Weekly or biweekly sessions
- Tailored to your caseload and growth edges
- Hours documented for board submission
- Consultee contract provided at start
Group Supervision
- Counts toward OCSWMFT group hours
- Group size within your board's limit
- Weekly cohort with queer clinicians
- Rotating case presentations
- Community you can't get in individual alone
Direct Observation
- Live or recorded session review
- Structured feedback form provided
- Documented for boards that require observation
- Available within individual supervision
- Non-evaluative, growth-focused frame
Peer Consultation
- For licensed LMFTs in Ohio
- Complex case consultation
- Ethical dilemmas and dual relationships
- Advanced LGBTQ+ clinical competency
- No long-term commitment required

Your Supervisor
Mx. Love C. Dialogos,
LMFT
I'm a queer, genderless womxn (she/they) and licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I'm licensed in Ohio (OH-F.2400451) and hold AAMFT Approved Supervisor status.
My supervision practice is grounded in UDL and Buddhist Psychology, because I believe the most effective clinical work happens when clinicians feel genuinely seen and supported, not just evaluated.
I built this practice because the supervision I needed didn't exist when I was pre-licensed. I don't want that to be your story.
