This position is designed to be fully remote, allowing for a flexible work setup that accommodates the varying schedules of school clients. Our remote work culture emphasizes collaboration and continuous communication, ensuring our clinicians feel supported while engaging with both students and educational staff.

\n
• Provide individual, family, and group therapy sessions utilizing evidence-based treatment modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy to support clients effectively.

\n
• Facilitate engaging group therapy sessions, psychoeducation programs, and support groups aimed at skill-building and peer support.
\n

Patient Population / Client Focus\n

Your primary focus will be on students and their families, addressing a myriad of mental health challenges that arise within the educational context. This role necessitates a sensitivity to diverse backgrounds, cultural competencies, and the ability to foster trust with clients.

Qualifications\n

\n
• A Master’s degree in Social Work from an accredited institution.
\n
• Current active state licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
\n
• A minimum of two years of demonstrated experience in a mental health setting, particularly within outpatient or school environments.
\n
• Strong understanding of evidence-based therapeutic modalities and treatment strategies appropriate for a school-age population.
\n
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to connect with diverse client populations.
\n

Preferred Experience\n

\n
• Experience working in educational settings, with a strong focus on mental health issues prevalent among school-aged children and adolescents.
\n
• Familiarity with community resources and support networks for families.
\n
• Proficient in the use of electronic health record (EHR) systems for documentation and case management.
