Mental Health Therapist, Counselor or Psychologist - Flexible Telehealth Position

Brightside Health is revolutionizing mental healthcare by delivering life-saving, virtual care to those who need it most. Powered by cutting-edge AI, purpose-built technology, and a world-class clinician network, our care model rivals the best in-person treatment. By combining precision psychiatry with advanced therapeutic techniques, we deliver exceptional outcomes for individuals facing mild to severe depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. Recognized by top publications like Healthline, Fortune, and Forbes as 'Most Comprehensive' and 'Best Online Therapy for Anxiety and Depression' and named Indeed's top remote company to work for in 2024, Brightside Health is leading the way in innovative, compassionate care.

Using an evidenced-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) counseling approach, our patients complete live video sessions with their therapist as well as self-guided video lessons outside of session. With Brightside’s innovative care model, 86% of our patients are feeling better in 12 weeks and we’re delivering 50%+ higher rates of response and remission when compared to a top US health system.

Brightside therapists also have the option to receive free training in the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicide (CAMS) to treat patients with elevated risk for suicide as part of our Suicide Prevention Program. Suicide Prevention is a first-of-its-kind virtual mental health care program that provides timely, intermediate care for individuals who are actively suicidal and/or have had a recent suicide attempt. Therapists will also have the opportunity to work with our Teen Therapy program and our MH and SUD Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) launching in the coming months. We firmly believe in providing a continuum of care to those who need it most, encompassing our general mental health population, substance use disorder population, individuals facing an elevated risk of suicide, and adolescents.

3. Custom-built tools: Enjoy our easy-to-use electronic medical record (EMR) integrated with treatment software, assessment tools, progress monitoring, and crisis protocols for streamlined documentation and efficient, effective care.
4. Billing support: Our therapist and client support teams handle all the billing so you can focus on providing care.
5. Operational support: Our operational support teams provide clinical drop-in hours, IT support, member account/insurance support, and more.

1. Provide weekly evidence-based care through live video sessions to individual adults.

4. Maintain timely clinical documentation through our user-friendly, reliable therapist portal that includes digital tools for streamlined documentation.
5. Receive support and consultation from the Therapy Leadership Team when needed.
