What do marriage and family therapists earn around Lincoln?

The pay marriage and family therapists take around Lincoln is reported at the metropolitan level, Lincoln, NE, because the survey publishes no city figure for this occupation. What follows covers the whole licensed workforce there.

Median annual pay for marriage and family therapists, metro against state and nation
Area Median Employment
Lincoln, NE $71,760 60 employed
Nebraska, statewide $62,610 260 employed
United States $66,940 66,740 employed
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025, SOC 21-1013.

From $45,450 at the tenth percentile to $113,620 at the ninetieth, the distribution is wide enough that the median alone will mislead you. Which end you sit at depends chiefly on who employs you.

The Lincoln, NE area carries 0.73 times the national share of this work per job. That is a statement about how many posts exist, not about what they pay, and the two move independently.
