Exactly, in the program break down from their program link here, you have the following mentioned: https://kairos.edu/academics/programs/ma...ounseling/

~For those planning to pursue licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
*For those planning to pursue licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor.

^Prepares students to pursue licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor or a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, and North Dakota. Students may also be eligible in other states that allow for “equivalent coursework.”

And from the program overview on the same link, you have this:

Licensure and Credentialing
Professional mental health practitioners are held to high standards of care and professionalism.  As such, Master of Arts in Counseling students pursuing clinical work after graduation must complete additional requirements.  Requirements for licensure are set forth by statutory laws and regulations and vary from state to state.  Subsequent requirements include, but are not limited to, application to a state licensing regulatory board, post-graduate direct clinical hours, plan and approval of a supervisor, and successful passage of a national licensure examination.  Students will create a plan for academic, clinical, and post-graduate licensure with the guidance of faculty.

That's good.  But there's one more element to consider.  As we know, state licensure requirements vary from state to state and so the prospective student should determine if that holds true in the state where they intend to live/practice.  Maybe it's good in New Mexico, or California, or wherever but what's important is whether it's true where you are too.  I like these sorts of programs and enjoy looking through the ones that are a little outside the lines.
