BA in psych 15 yrs ago, can I use those credits to start a masters + become a licensed psychologist to take personal clients? Or should I become a consultant ?

If I already have a BA in psych can I use those credits to apply for MA programs in my state now 15 years later? Do I need to retake all those courses? If my goal is to open a private low cost clinic via online out of state clients) and in person clients how do I do this/what licensures am I aiming for? What’s the timeline?

Most importantly, are there any careers or ways that allow me to use my personal experience + degree where I can “consult” people on mental health issues/give practical life advice & guidance (I hate the word life coach but here it is) instead of going back to school without diagnosing/etc LEGALLY?

Worth noting: I have the community/network to make this successful almost immediately, being in the mental health space for over a decade I’ve garnered a massive social media following who have been asking to do 1:1 with me, hence trying to figure this out.
