Position Overview\n

Empath Behavioral Services is actively seeking dedicated Licensed Mental Health Therapists (LMFT, LPCC, LCSW) to join our innovative telehealth team. This remote position allows you to provide essential mental health services from the comfort of your own home, offering the flexibility of full-time or part-time work. With the ability to set your own schedule, this role is perfect for those looking to balance their professional and personal responsibilities while making a meaningful impact in the lives of clients.

About the Organization\n

Empath Behavioral Services is a leading provider of telehealth mental health services dedicated to improving the well-being of individuals through compassionate care and personalized support. Our organization prides itself on facilitating meaningful client-therapist partnerships, leveraging technology to reach clients who may not have access to traditional in-office therapy. By focusing on a stable and low-acuity patient population, we empower our therapists to deliver high-quality care and foster therapeutic growth.

Work Environment\n

This fully remote position offers the advantage of a flexible telehealth setting, enabling you to conduct therapy sessions via secure video chat platforms. Our telehealth framework emphasizes minimal paperwork, allowing you to focus more on client care rather than administrative tasks. Our user-friendly counselor portal simplifies scheduling and client management, ensuring that you can devote your time and energy to what truly matters: supporting your clients’ mental health journeys.

Key Responsibilities\n

\n
• Conduct one-on-one counseling sessions with clients through secure video conferencing, addressing various mental health concerns and promoting overall emotional well-being.

Patient Population / Client Focus\n

Your clients will primarily consist of pre-screened, stable adults who present with low-acuity mental health issues.

Our client matching system pairs you with individuals whose needs align with your expertise, enhancing your effectiveness and enjoyment in your role.

Qualifications\n

\n
• Must hold a current and valid state license as an LCSW, LPCC, LMFT, or PsyD.

• Possess a genuine sense of empathy and a non-judgmental approach to therapy.
\n
• Demonstrated organizational skills and the ability to manage your time effectively in a remote environment.
