Kairos University Masters in Counseling

Anyway, I am about to complete my bachelor's in Psychology from an accredited school and intend to enroll in a master's program for mental health counseling to be an LPC. The thing that gave me trepidation was the cost of CACREP programs until I came across a non-CACREP program at Kairos University. They have a masters in Counseling which said I would be eligible to be an LPC in my state of Texas. 
Do any of you know someone who has gone to Kairos and become an LPC after graduating from there? How did they describe the program pace, classes, workload, professors, etc? How long did it take? What additional steps were needed to be taken after graduation knowing it wasn't CACREP accredited? Did jobs readily hire the person for counseling jobs after graduation despite no accreditation? Do you know of other Non-CACREP schools that are just as affordable as Kairos University? 
If this has been answered before, my apologies. Smile Thank you in advance for any advice you can give.

I know it's a little late but.. I have a masters in counseling (CACREP) accredited. The only degree you need in any state to be a Licensed Professional Counselor is a masters. The doctoral degree is more a feather in your cap, or if you're interested in teaching. The PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision is the recognized degree for this. The DPC (Doctor of Professional Counseling) is strictly clinically focused, but has no real career advantage in terms of scope of practice. However, you masters should be accredited, as it the degree for which you state license to practice will be issued for. A doctoral degree in counseling really isn't necessary.
