Job Description

Position Overview\n

We are searching for a dedicated and licensed Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) to join our dynamic team at Coping Skills Counseling Service. This full-time position allows professionals to engage virtually with clients, guiding them through their journey toward mental wellness and recovery from various challenges such as addiction, trauma, and anxiety. As an LMFT, you will play an essential role in shaping the therapeutic experience and facilitating client growth.

About the Organization\n

Work Environment\n

This position operates in a fully remote setting, allowing for flexible scheduling that can accommodate your personal commitments while fostering a productive work-life balance. While teletherapy is the primary mode of service delivery, our outpatient office facilities also provide a safe and confidential space for any in-person sessions that may be necessary. The work environment encourages collaboration among peers through regular staff meetings, group supervision, and one-on-one consultations with clinical supervisors.

Key Responsibilities\n

\n
• Conduct in-depth assessments of clients to pinpoint their mental health challenges and collaboratively develop effective treatment plans tailored to their specific needs.
\n
• Facilitate individual therapy sessions utilizing a personalized approach to promote healing, growth, and emotional well-being among clients.
\n
• Set therapeutic goals in partnership with clients, closely monitoring their progress and adjusting strategies as necessary to maximize effectiveness.

• Provide teletherapy options to ensure accessibility for clients with mobility challenges or those who prefer virtual interactions.
\n
• Maintain meticulous documentation in compliance with ethical standards and regulatory requirements to safeguard client confidentiality and support treatment continuity.
\n
• Engage in continuous professional development through workshops and training sessions to enhance clinical skills and stay informed on the latest therapeutic trends and methodologies.

Patient Population / Client Focus\n

Your expertise will serve a diverse client demographic, including individuals, couples, children, and families from various backgrounds. We prioritize inclusivity, ensuring that clients of color, LGBTQIA individuals, and those experiencing systemic barriers receive the care they need. As an LMFT, you will be responsible for embodying cultural competence and sensitivity in every interaction, fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust and empathy.

Qualifications\n

\n
• A Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy or related field is required.

\n
• A minimum of two years of full-time experience in counseling, highlighting your capacity to address a range of mental health issues.
\n
• Experience working with diverse populations, particularly children, teenagers, and families, is highly valued.
\n

Preferred Experience\n

While not strictly required, experience or training in modalities that emphasize systemic therapy, trauma-informed care, or cognitive-behavioral therapy will enhance your contribution to our team. Skills in working specifically with clients of color or within LGBTQIA communities are particularly desirable, as they align with our focus on equitable service delivery.

This role offers a competitive annual salary in the range of USD 70,000 to USD 100,000, complemented by a sign-on bonus to welcome you to our team. In addition, Coping Skills Counseling Service provides a comprehensive benefits package, which includes:
