This full-time remote position allows you to make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals seeking to improve their relationship with alcohol. You will have the privilege of guiding clients through evidence-based treatment modalities while enjoying a flexible work schedule that empowers you to balance your personal and professional life.

About the Organization

At Better Living Behavioral Health Services, we are committed to transforming the way people confront their challenges with alcohol. Our platform connects members to a free and anonymous community, therapeutic group sessions led by licensed professionals, and a wealth of resources designed to promote informed decision-making and ongoing support. Founded from a recovery-focused mission, our organization prioritizes accessibility, affordability, and high-quality care, reinforcing the notion that a healthier relationship with alcohol is not only attainable but also celebratory.

Work Environment

This role operates within a fully remote setting, allowing for a suitable work-life balance while you concentrate on providing high-quality mental health counseling to clients. As a member of our outpatient office staff, you will leverage digital tools and platforms to conduct virtual therapy sessions, ensuring that your interactions remain personable and effective. You will be part of a compassionate, supportive team that believes in the power of combined healing methods, including community recovery support alongside professional treatment.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish and manage your own availability without a set minimum number of hours required for practice.
• Conduct therapy sessions utilizing an array of methodologies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
• Maintain comprehensive and empathetic engagement with clients, working collaboratively to design personalized treatment plans.
• Utilize a harm-reduction model to address varying client needs, accommodating requests for moderation in their alcohol use.
• Reduce administrative workload by allowing our team to handle billing and scheduling, enabling you to focus on your therapeutic craft.
• Participate in case discussions and training sessions with our Clinical Operations Team to stay informed about best clinical practices.
• Lead support groups if desired, and collaborate with our Content Manager to produce engaging “Expert Insights” for community education.
• Receive client referrals through our robust network, enhancing your ability to connect with those effectively seeking help.
• Engage in ongoing professional development opportunities and obtain Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits, with costs covered by Better Living.

Patient Population / Client Focus

Our clients display a range of challenges associated with alcohol use and behavioral health.

Qualifications

• Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), or Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of California.
• A Bachelor’s degree in Social Work or a closely related field, with relevant clinical training and certifications.
• Demonstrated knowledge of harm-reduction principles and an understanding of community recovery resources such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Smart Recovery.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in providing therapy using evidence-based approaches such as CBT and DBT.
• Familiarity with trauma-informed care and techniques for navigating sensitive client interactions.
