I am a self employed LCPC and have to take CEU courses to maintain licensure. Are the costs of those classes tax deductible?

Yes. Include them as a miscellaneous expense with an explanation on Schedule C.

Under which section of schedule C? None of the descriptions seem to encompass continuing education courses.

As expert @ColeenD3 stated, you will enter it as a miscellaneous expense with the label "Continuing Education" that you enter yourself.
