Position Overview\n

Join our dedicated team at Life Long Counseling Services as a Full-Time Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), where you'll play a critical role in delivering compassionate care to individuals experiencing significant mental health challenges. This position allows for remote work, offering you the flexibility to provide support effectively from your own environment while serving patients who need it most.

About the Organization\n

Life Long Counseling Services is committed to fostering healthier communities by providing comprehensive, patient-centered care to medically underserved areas. Our mission revolves around ensuring quality healthcare is accessible regardless of an individual's ability to pay.

Work Environment\n

This position is hosted remotely, allowing you the flexibility to manage your workload while collaborating with a diverse team of professionals dedicated to mental health. Although remote, this role does require interaction with clients primarily through virtual platforms, ensuring you maintain a personal connection while offering psychological support. Your contributions will directly impact our hospice center’s care, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to enhance service delivery.

\n
• Act as a primary clinician, engaging with assigned clients both within office hours and in community settings to address symptoms related to major mental illnesses and severe emotional disorders.
