Speaking of “physicians” rather than “psychologists” it’s certainly a crime to practice medicine without a license.However,I wonder if it’s a crime to simply claim you’re a “physician” or “doctor” but don’t do anything that could be seen as practicing medicine.
I am pretty sure it is entirely legal to refer to oneself as “doctor” if you claim to be an expert in herbal medicine or gravity treatments or some such quackery. You would get into serious trouble if you tried to append “MD” to your name. We are pretty picky on that point.

I’ve always suspected that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson aren’t real “Reverends” either...(sarc)
