LPC/School counselor in TEXAS

I have a BA in psychology and an MA in forensic psychology, but want to go back to school to become a counselor. I specifically want to become a school counselor, but I also think it would be beneficial to get into a program that can also lead to LPC licensure. I have found a masters of school counseling at UTSA and a masters of clinical mental health counseling at UTSA but don’t know which to do. Because the school counseling masters doesn’t lead to LPC licensure, but the CMHC doesn’t lead to school counseling certification. I have to work full time so the night classes at UTSA are beneficial and I think it would be best in securing an internship, but I’m also willing to do online school. Please help! So confused! 🥲

MA in Forensic Psych—> TX school counselor???

I have a BA in psychology and an MA in forensic psychology, and have been working as a felony victim advocate for my county, but have recently decided I want to become a school counselor. Since I already have a masters in a related field, will I need to get a whole other masters degree? Or only take a few classes? Or do internships?? I’m trying to find things online but have been unsuccessful. Please help!! Thank you
