Work type: remote
Location: Baton Rouge, LA
Salary: $53,000 – $80,000/yr
Type: Full-time
This role is designed for independently licensed (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) or junior-licensed clinicians (PLPC, LMSW, etc.) who specialize in high-acuity mental health care. You should be comfortable working with a diverse age range—from children to adults—and have a strong background in modalities like CBT and DBT. While the listing contains conflicting information about location, it primarily emphasizes a virtual, tech-forward environment suited for therapists who enjoy group dynamics. The compensation package is robust, offering a total cash target of up to $80k for full-time W2 employees, including performance bonuses. A major perk is the removal of "administrative burnout"; the company provides AI-powered virtual scribes for documentation and a dedicated operations team to handle billing, insurance, and scheduling. You can choose between a flexible 1099 contract (minimum 12 hours) or a full-time W2 position with comprehensive benefits. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Hold an active license (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) or are eligible for associate-level supervision. * Are comfortable facilitating group therapy sessions via video and using tools like Slack and Zoom. * Want to focus entirely on clinical care while a support team manages your caseload and logistics. * Have availability for evening or Saturday sessions to accommodate client schedules.
