Online Adult Therapist (Remote)
Annual Salary: $171,500
A Role That’s More Than Just a Job
Ever sat in a quiet room and thought, "I just want to help someone feel less alone today"? That’s the heartbeat of what we do here. We’re not about clocking in, sitting behind a screen, and rattling off textbook advice. We’re about listening, connecting, and genuinely helping people turn the page on tough chapters in their lives. And the best part? You get to do it all from your own space — no commute, no rushed mornings, no stiff office chairs.
This isn’t just work. This is about guiding adults through their authentic, messy, beautiful, complicated lives — and doing it in a way that feels natural, human, and honest.
Why This Role Feels Different
If you’ve been in therapy work before, you know some days are heavy. Some conversations will stick with you. But here, you’re part of a tight-knit, remote team that supports each other. We have a group chat that’s part professional, part “Look at my cat doing something ridiculous.” We share little wins — like the client who said they finally slept through the night — and we also share the hard stuff, so you never feel like you’re carrying it alone.
We believe therapy works best when the therapist feels grounded, too. That’s why we keep our caseloads reasonable, our schedules flexible, and our team conversations open. You can speak up if something’s not working, and we’ll fix it together.
What Your Day Might Look Like
Wondering how your workday might unfold? Let’s walk through it:
- Morning check-in: Maybe you start the day with coffee and a quick message from a teammate, sharing a funny client-approved story from yesterday.
- Client sessions: You’ll have a mix of scheduled appointments — video or audio — helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions.
- Breaks that matter: Step outside, take a walk, stretch. We trust you to manage your time, because we know mental stamina matters.
- Collaboration moments: Once or twice a week, you’ll hop on a short video huddle with the team. We swap insights, talk through tricky cases (with confidentiality, of course), and cheer each other on.
- End-of-day notes: Wrap up your client summaries, jot down key progress points, and log off feeling like you’ve genuinely made an impact.
And yes, no surprise 8 p.m. calls, unless you want evening sessions. We respect boundaries.
Skills and Strengths That Help You Shine
We’re not here to rattle off a stiff list of “requirements.” Instead, here’s what makes someone thrive in this role:
- You love making people feel understood — even when they can’t quite put their feelings into words.
- You can sit with someone in their hardest moment and not rush them to “feel better” before they’re ready.
- You know therapy isn’t just about what’s said in session — it’s about building trust, little by little.
- You’re comfortable with technology: secure video platforms, online scheduling, and digital notes.
- You can adapt your approach for different personalities — from the talkative to the “I’m not sure I want to be here” clients.
The Human Side of the Work
Let’s be honest: remote therapy can feel isolating if you’re not intentional about staying connected. That’s why we put real energy into team culture. Every Friday, we do a 20-minute “no-agenda” call. Sometimes it’s about weekend plans. Sometimes it’s about that TV show everyone’s hooked on. It keeps us human.
We also have optional peer-support hours — kind of like open office hours — where you can drop in, talk about a challenging case, or laugh with people who get it. And if you’ve ever worked in a space where burnout was the norm, you’ll appreciate how fiercely we guard against it here.
How We Support You
We know you can’t pour from an empty cup. That’s why we’ve built in ways to make your work more sustainable:
- Flexible scheduling — work when you’re at your best, not just when the calendar says so.
- Reasonable caseloads — no back-to-back marathons that leave you drained.
- Access to professional resources — training, workshops, and certifications to keep your skills fresh.
- Wellness allowance — because your mental health matters, too.
- Responsive leadership — you’re heard, and your input shapes how we do things.
A Few Real Stories From the Team
- "Last month, I worked with a client who was struggling with panic attacks. By week three, she texted to say she’d gone to the grocery store for the first time in months without anxiety. I just sat there, smiling at my screen. Those moments? They’re gold." — Mia, Therapist.
- "Honestly, I’ve worked places where you’re just a number. Here, if you need to rearrange your week because life happens, they get it. No guilt, no pushback." — Kevin, Therapist
- "Remote work can be lonely sometimes. Here, it’s not. We keep each other laughing." — Alex, Therapist.
What We Ask From You
We’re looking for licensed mental health professionals who can work with adult clients in a safe, ethical, and compassionate way. You should have:
- A valid state license to practice therapy (LCSW, LMFT, LPC, or equivalent).
- At least 2 years of clinical experience working with adults.
- A private, quiet space for sessions.
- Comfort with telehealth technology.
- A deep respect for confidentiality and professional ethics.
Suppose you’ve got additional specialties — trauma-informed care, CBT, mindfulness techniques — even better. But the core thing we care about is your ability to show up fully for your clients.
The Impact You’ll Have
Here, your work will shape how someone feels when they wake up in the morning. It’ll help them show up for their relationships, face their fears, and believe they can handle what’s ahead. Sometimes you’ll see change quickly. Sometimes it’ll be slow and subtle. But you’ll know you were part of it.
That’s the kind of work you can look back on and feel proud of.
The Remote Lifestyle, Done Right
Remote work sounds dreamy — and it can be — but we know it’s not without its quirks. That’s why we:
- Keep communication open so you’re never left guessing.
- Share resources and tips for making your workspace feel inspiring.
- Celebrate wins as a team, even from miles apart.
We’re not just “remote” — we’re connected while remote. There’s a difference.
How You’ll Grow Here
We’re big on professional growth that doesn’t feel forced. If you want to learn new techniques, we’ll help you find the proper training. If you wish to mentor newer therapists, there’s space for that too. You can shape your career path here instead of feeling boxed in.
And because our team is small enough that your voice matters, you’ll have a real say in the direction we take as we grow.
Your Next Step
If you’ve read this far, something about this role probably feels right. Maybe you’re ready for a job that lets you truly connect without draining every ounce of your energy. Perhaps you want to be part of a team that’s serious about mental health and about making work sustainable.
We won’t say every single day will be smooth sailing. But we will tell you, you’ll always have people in your corner here.
So — ready to help someone feel less alone today? Let’s talk.
Annual Salary: $171,500 — plus the kind of non-monetary benefits that make a real difference.
