Remote Licensed Mental Health Therapist (LPC)—1099 Contractor | Telehealth

Join Brightside Health as a 100% remote, 1099 contractor therapist. Build a flexible, sustainable telehealth practice with steady referrals, free CEUs, malpractice coverage, and strong clinical support.

86% of our patients experience meaningful improvement within 12 weeks.

About Brightside Health

At Brightside Health, we’re redefining telehealth through evidence-based, measurement-driven behavioral health care. Our model combines proven clinical frameworks with technology and human-centered care to deliver real outcomes—and our data backs it up.

We are uniquely positioned with specialized programs including:

Suicide Prevention Program (CAMS training provided)

Teen Therapy Program

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for mental health and substance use

Our therapists choose Brightside for the ability to build a flexible, sustainable private practice with strong clinical and operational support—and the freedom to do meaningful work on their own terms.

Is This Role a Fit?

This role is a great fit if you're a licensed psychotherapist who wants:

Flexibility without isolation—set your own schedule with a built-in clinical community

Clinical depth without admin overload—we handle billing, credentialing, and insurance so you don't have to

A steady caseload without the marketing—we bring the referrals to you

Meaningful, high-impact work—with outcome data to prove it

Minimum availability: 9 hours per week across at least 2 days. Many therapists start here and grow their caseload at their own pace.

About the Role

We are hiring licensed Remote Mental Health Therapists (LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, LPC, LCPC, LICSW, LISW, LIMHP, PsyD, PhD) to deliver high-quality telehealth therapy across our general mental health program. Therapists also have the opportunity to opt into specialized care tracks including Suicide Prevention, Teen Therapy, and IOP.

What You’ll Do

Deliver weekly telehealth (video-based) therapy sessions to individuals across a range of behavioral health conditions

Apply evidence-based approaches including CBT and the Unified Protocol (UP); additional modalities such as ACT, DBT, and EMDR are welcomed

Use measurement-based care to track progress via digital assessments

Collaborate with psychiatrists and fellow therapists for integrated care
