Why this was classified this way

  • Contractor

Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.

Why this is worth applying to

Worth considering for licensed mental health clinicians who want flexible remote contract therapy work; less relevant for clinicians seeking a non-clinical career pivot or stable employed benefits.

Who should apply

Licensed mental health therapists such as LCSW, LMFT, LPC, or psychologists with telehealth comfort, strong documentation habits, and interest in contract remote therapy work.

CV angle

Frame licensed psychotherapy experience with concrete modalities, mental health assessment, treatment planning, telehealth delivery, documentation quality, and QA/chart-review participation; do not claim non-clinical experience.

Skills to highlight

  • Psychotherapy
  • Mental health assessment
  • Treatment planning
  • Evidence-based interventions
  • Telehealth delivery
  • Clinical documentation
