Well, to be a licensed clinical psychologist in the U.S. you need to have a Ph.D. and a certain number of hours of clinical experience after that degree. So, I suppose someone could call themself a "psychologist" without that experience but they wouldn't be licensed.
In some states it is possible to practice psychotherapy without a license of any type (well, in Colorado, anyway). In most states to call yourself a psychotherapist, you do need to have a license, which means that you have completed a graduate degree and a number of supervised clinical hours.
