Job description

Licensed Mental Health Therapist — Part-Time

Remote

• Virginia License Required

We're growing our Virginia team. We're looking for therapists who want meaningful part-time work — without the full-time pressure.

Backpack Healthcare provides mental health care for children, teens, and young adults — all online, covered by most insurance. We're clinician-led and minority-owned, and we know that great clinicians come in all configurations. Some are supplementing a private practice. Some are balancing family life. Some just want consistent evening hours doing work that matters.

Whatever your reason for wanting part‑time, this role is built around it.

What this role looks like

You'll carry a caseload of 15–22 sessions per week, providing individual and family therapy via telehealth. Most of our clinicians work weekday afternoons and evenings (2–9 PM) — right when kids and teens are available after school. Weekend availability is a plus. You set the schedule. We handle referrals and admin.

Day-to-day you'll:

• Conduct intakes and build client‑centered, trauma‑informed treatment plans
• Collaborate with our interdisciplinary team — therapists, PMHNPs, and psychiatrists working together
• Maintain timely documentation in our EHR
• Support families with education and care coordination, not just the child in the room

What we offer

• $65/billable hour — LCSW or LPC (fully licensed)
• $45/billable hour — LMSW or LPC‑R (supervision provided)
• 401(k) with 3% company match
• $300 annual CEU reimbursement
• Free clinical supervision for eligible licenses
• $25,000 company‑paid life insurance
• Employee Assistance Program
• Option to grow into full‑time or supervisory roles if that's ever where you want to go

What we're looking for

• Active Virginia license: LPC, LPC‑R, LCSW, or LMSW
• Experience with children, teens, and families
• Comfortable working independently in a remote setting
• Bilingual English/Spanish — strongly preferred
• Committed to trauma‑informed, culturally responsive practice

Who we are

We've served 12,000+ kids and families since 2020. 78% of families report their child is doing better after three months. 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.

Backpack Healthcare is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity in age, background, identity, and experience — and we mean it.
