Final answer:

The incorrectly matched therapist-degree pair is c) School Counselor - Doctorate in Education, as a master's degree is usually sufficient to practice as a school counselor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The therapist-degree pair that is INCORRECTLY matched is c) School Counselor - Doctorate in Education. While a doctorate can be applicable for a school counselor, it is not a requirement as a master's degree is typically sufficient. School Psychologists, who perform different roles than school counselors, may find a master's or specialist degree (such as Ed.S.) adequate, whereas school counselors can practice with a master's in counseling, psychology, or education.

For the other pairs, a) a Clinical Psychologist - Ph.D. in Psychology is correctly matched since clinical psychologists often obtain a Ph.D. or PsyD in their field. b) A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Counseling is also correctly matched. And d) a Psychiatrist - Medical Doctor (M.D.) is correctly matched because psychiatrists do attend medical school and must hold an MD to practice.
