💙 Licensed Mental Health Therapist — Part-Time
📍 Remote · Virginia License Required
🎒 Meaningful Work. Flexible Schedule. Real Earning Potential.
We're growing our Virginia team—and we're looking for therapists who want meaningful part-time work without the full-time pressure.
Backpack Healthcare provides accessible mental health care to children, teens, and young adults , all through telehealth. We're clinician-led and minority-owned, and we believe great clinicians deserve flexibility, support, and opportunities to grow.
Maybe you're supplementing a private practice. Maybe you're balancing family life. Maybe you simply want consistent afternoon and evening hours doing work that matters.
Whatever brings you to part-time work, we've built this role with flexibility in mind.
🌟 What This Role Looks Like
You'll carry a caseload of approximately 15–22 sessions per week , providing individual and family therapy through telehealth.
Most clinicians work weekday afternoons and evenings (2:00–9:00 PM) —when children and teens are actually available after school. Weekend availability is a plus.
You build your schedule. We provide the referrals, administrative support, billing, and credentialing.
Responsibilities
Your day-to-day will include
- 🩺 Conducting intakes and developing client-centered, trauma-informed treatment plans
- 💻 Providing individual and family therapy through secure telehealth
- 🤝 Collaborating with our interdisciplinary team of therapists, PMHNPs, and psychiatrists
- 📋 Maintaining timely, accurate documentation in our EHR
- 👨👩👧 Supporting families through education, care coordination, and collaborative treatment
- 🌱 Participating in clinical consultation and contributing to a culture of high-quality care
💰 Competitive Pay + Monthly Bonus Potential
We want part-time clinicians to have the opportunity to earn competitive compensation while maintaining the flexibility they need.
Requirements
We're seeking clinicians who have
- ✔️ An active Virginia license: LPC, LPC-R, LCSW, or LMSW
- ✔️ Experience working with children, teens, and families
- ✔️ Comfort working independently in a remote environment
- ✔️ Strong clinical judgment, communication, and documentation skills
- ✔️ A commitment to trauma-informed, culturally responsive care
- ⭐ Bilingual English/Spanish clinicians are strongly preferred
- 💙 Why Backpack Healthcare?
- Since 2020, we've served 12,000+ kids and families , and 78% of families report that their child is doing better after three months.
- We're building a different kind of behavioral healthcare organization—one where clinicians have the flexibility to do great work without sacrificing their lives outside of work.
- We're not going to promise we're perfect. But we're serious about building a team where clinicians actually want to stay.
- When clinicians thrive, kids thrive. That's not a tagline. It's how we build.
- 🎒 Ready to Join Us?
- If you're looking for meaningful clinical work, flexible hours, competitive pay, and monthly bonus potential —without the pressure of a full-time schedule—this could be the right fit for you.
- Bring your clinical expertise. We'll bring the referrals, support, and opportunity to grow. 💙
