Unlicensed Therapy?

I read an article about a guy who would do unlicensed therapy in his apartment. basically would just let people come and talk about their problems for 20$ per half hour. I was wondering if this is actually legal.

1. If he let people know beforehand that he's not licensed, that's he's just someone to talk to that has no training, and they are informed and willing to pay him for this, I can't see why it would be illegal.
2. If he said he was a social worker, marriage and family counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist, then he could be in trouble. If someone just wants to pay someone and knows that isn't their area of expertice, then they might be able to do this.
