Practicing Without A License?

Alright, Black family, I'm going to give you an absolute true confession.

Ready?

Here it is:

Umar Johnson confuses the heck out of me.

Why?

Because, I don't follow this whole thing about being licensed versus not being licensed in the field of psychology, where Umar seems to say that he does clinical work, but since he doesn't have a license, he needs to have someone else, who has a license, sign off on what he does.

Go to about 2 hours and 42 minutes until about 2 hours and 53 minutes

But, as we have heard Umar Johnson say on many an occasion, he has a doctorate of psychology from the Pennsylvania College of Osteopathic Medicine, often referred to as PCOM.  So, I went and found the 2010-2011 course catalog for PCOM and looked for the Doctorate of Clinical Psychology.  From the course catalog, on page 93, it states as follows:

Clinical Psychology – Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

PCOM’s Psychology Department presents a practitioner-scholar program that prepares graduates for leadership roles in clinical psychology. The PsyD program is a multi-year American Psychological Association accredited curriculum designed for in-career professionals. The curriculum integrates the Department of Psychology’s interdisciplinary core graduate courses, the competencies listed by the National Council of Schools of Professional Psychology, and the core areas of the American Psychological Association and the National Register. Successful completion of the program allows the graduate to qualify for the Examination for Professional Practice of Psychology (EPPP) for licensure (emphasis mine) as a psychologist. The PsyD program has four major components:

1. The sequence of courses, which includes a minimum of eight terms of practicum experience.
2. Passing the three-part comprehensive examination. Completion of the first two portions of the comprehensive examination makes students eligible to begin the dissertation process.
3. Completing a dissertation.
4. Completing a clinical psychology internship. Successful completion of the first three years of coursework and the comprehensive examination confers doctoral candidate status on the PsyD student, who may then proceed to internship.

Upon completion of the comprehensive examination and admission to doctoral candidacy, students are awarded a master of science in clinical psychology

In addition, he told Ms. Cynthia Johnson, that has has a doctorate in clinical psychology from PCOM, which makes it seems as though he has completed the necessary requirements to earn the doctorate degree through the program at PCOM.

I wonder...

So now, here's where I get lost.  So, I'm going to ask for some assistance, please.  My questions are:

1. Why doesn't Umar discuss the details of his education, including the 4 quarters of intership that a student at PCOM would have to complete toward their doctorate of clinical psychology?
2. Can someone call themselves a PsyD if they didn't take and pass the EPPP examination for licensure?
3. Why would someone do all that coursework and NOT take the examination to get a license?
4. Did Umar Johnson EVER hold a license?
5. Do these credentials only apply in the state of Pennsylvania?
6. And if he doesn't have a license, which he's admitted that he doesn't, is he practicing psychology without a license?
7. Who is signing off on the private consultations, if Umar doesn't have the credentials to practice?
8. Isn't practicing psychology without a license illegal?

I am seriously asking for an education on this, because none of the thing Umar says seems to add up to me.  I thank you in advance.
