This is all very interesting. You hold a bachelor's with a low GPA from a university that is now RA accredited but was NA accredited at the time of conferral. Would Liberty University "conditionally" accept you into a master's program? Earning another bachelor's degree from an RA school is certainly an alternative but may not be necessary. I would personally rather put my efforts into an RA master's degree. Take the 30-credit MA in Human Services Counseling at Liberty for example: https://www.liberty.edu/online/behaviora...-recovery/
Admission requirements for MA: " regionally or nationally accredited bachelor’s degree with at least a 2.0 GPA is required for admission in good standing. Applicants who have earned a master’s degree or at least 12 graduate credits from an accredited institution will be assessed on the basis of the master’s-level degree work."
If you want to be a licensed mental health counselor, you will have to apply for a master's in mental health that leads to licensure. It will be a lot of reading and writing in APA style, so study up on that. The tuition is hard to beat if you are a veteran or first responder! I would stick with Liberty and see if they will accept you to a master's program instead of obtaining a second bachelor's degree.
I noticed the Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling requires a 2.7 GPA but they have a graduate certificate "bridge program" for those with less than a 2.7 GPA. https://www.liberty.edu/online/behaviora...h-studies/
