Rock Hill, SC 29732 (in office) Job Type: Two options, 1099 independent contractor or full-time W-2 employee Pay: $45 per completed billable session (contract) or $45,000 per year (salaried, full time) Supervision: Board-approved LPCS supervision provided on site at no cost to you
SkyCare Services is a Rock Hill based behavioral health and in-home care agency serving children, adolescents, adults, and families across York County and the surrounding area. Our outpatient mental health program operates from our main office on Ebenezer Road and receives referrals from the community, from Medicaid managed care partners, and from our school district partnership with Rock Hill Schools, including the alternative school and its overflow referrals.
We are looking for a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern (LPCI) who is ready to start building a caseload right away. We provide the clients, the office, the electronic health record, the billing, the credentialing support, and your board-approved supervisor.
This is the role for a newly licensed intern who does not want to spend the next two years hunting for a supervisor, paying out of pocket for supervision hours, or waiting on referrals to trickle in.
We know pre-licensed clinicians are in very different situations, so you pick the structure that fits yours. Both options include free on-site LPCS supervision.
Option 1: Contract, paid per session

• $1099 independent contractor
• Flexible scheduling built around your availability, including evenings
• You tell us the days and times you can be in the office and we schedule the caseload to it
• Good fit if you are finishing a degree, working elsewhere part time, or want to control your own hours

Option 2: Salaried, full time
~$Choose your shift: 7:00 a.m. Good fit if you want predictable income and a set schedule while you complete your supervision hours

Tell us in your application which option you are interested in. If you are not sure, we will walk you through both on the phone screen.
Your supervision is free. SkyCare provides a board-approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPCS) on site at no cost to you. Your supervisor is in the same building, immediately accessible, and reviews and co-signs your documentation.
Individual and group supervision is scheduled at the intervals required by the South Carolina Board of Examiners, with supervision logs maintained so your hours are documented correctly for full licensure.
Scheduling support, verification, authorizations, claims, and collections are managed by SkyCare. You are not chasing payers or building a practice from scratch.
Community, Medicaid, and school district sources keep the schedule full, including overflow from our Rock Hill Schools and alternative school partnership.
Provide individual, family, and group counseling to children, adolescents, and adults
Deliver crisis intervention and safety planning as needed
Serve school-referred youth from our Rock Hill Schools and alternative school partnership

Maintain documentation that supports medical necessity and meets Medicaid, HIPAA, and payer requirements
Participate in quality assurance and compliance activities
Master's degree in Counseling or a closely related field from an accredited program
Current, unrestricted South Carolina Licensed Professional Counselor Intern (LPCI) license in good standing, or license in hand before start date
Willingness to enter into a board-approved supervision agreement with SkyCare's LPCS
Ability to work on site at our Ebenezer Road office. Medicaid requires your supervising clinician and you to be housed at the same practice location, so this role is not remote
Ability to pass a criminal background check, SC Department of Social Services Child Abuse Registry check, and state and national sex offender registry checks
Strong, timely documentation habits and comfort working in an electronic health record
Experience or coursework with children and adolescents
Familiarity with school based or community mental health settings
