Virtual Counselor

Why This Role Matters

Let’s be honest—you’re not here to take home a paycheck. Sure, the $99,500 salary is solid, but I suspect you want to make a real difference. You want to see the conversations you have leave a mark—sometimes in significant ways, sometimes in subtle ones.

This is about being that steady, understanding voice when someone needs to be heard. No scripts. No canned responses. Just genuine support and helping people find their way when life throws curveballs.

And while you’ll work from home, you’ll never feel like you’re on your own. We check in, share quick wins, and even trade silly GIFs when the day could use a laugh.

What a Day Might Look Like

Imagine: coffee beside you, laptop open, you glance over your calendar—video sessions, live chats, a couple of follow-ups. One call might be with a student worried about grades; another could be a parent navigating their child’s anxiety.

You’ll listen, guide, and sometimes be a calming presence. Yes, you’ll log session notes, but our tools keep it simple so your focus stays on people.

Your day might include:

• Speaking in plain, easy-to-follow language.
• Offering practical tips clients can use now.
• Flagging urgent situations for our support team.
• Swapping ideas with teammates so we all keep improving.

Some conversations will be challenging—that’s when the team has your back.

Work That Stays With You

There’s a specific look—or message—that makes this job unforgettable. Like the time Jenna, one of our counselors, worked with someone stuck in self-doubt for years. Step by step, with honest talks, that person later said, “I’m not there yet, but I believe I can be.”

Those are the moments that stick.

What Helps You Thrive

No endless checklist here, but these qualities make a significant impact:

• Genuine empathy—you notice the unspoken.
• Clear, simple communication—you make complex things click.
• Patience—you respect the pace of change.
• Tech confidence—switching between calls, chats, and notes feels easy.
• Healthy boundaries—you care deeply without draining yourself.

Experience helps, but your approach matters most.

Tools That Make Life Easier

We’ve kept our tech light and intuitive:

• A secure online platform for all client work.
• Video and chat tools that work even on shaky internet.
• Resources you can send instantly.
• Built-in reminders so nothing gets overlooked.

And when you hit a snag, our tech team and training guides are just a click away.

Staying Connected Remotely

You’ll never be a face on a Zoom tile:

• Weekly huddles for sharing wins and challenges.
• Peer mentors for real-time advice.
• Casual Fridays—hoodies, pets, and laughs welcome.
• Little surprises—like coffee gift cards after a long week.

Growth That’s Real

Here, growth isn’t a buzzword—it’s built in:

• Take advanced training in new counseling techniques.
• Lead sessions to pass along what you’ve learned.
• Help design fresh programs.
• Step into leadership when you’re ready.

We don’t climb alone—we bring each other up.

Our Work Vibe

Focused but flexible. We keep the pace sustainable:

• Schedules that fit your life.
• Time off that’s genuinely yours.
• Clear goals so you’re not juggling a dozen priorities.

Every day is different, but you always know your work mattered.

What Success Means to Us

Sometimes it’s a message weeks later—like when Ethan’s client wrote, “Thanks for listening. I didn’t think anyone would.”

We look for:

• Clients are making real progress.
• You feel confident in your approach.
• You are staying grounded and energized.
