Job description

Licensed Therapist for Online Counseling

Private practice with no doors and no overhead.

Join the world's largest online counseling platform.

Put simply: You provide the clinical expertise, we take care of everything else. And we mean everything else.

• Consistent referrals: Full clinical caseload can be established within the first 30 days.
• Zero overhead: No fees are collected from the therapist, ever.
• Flexible schedule: You are always in control of your schedule and appointment times. BetterHelp can be your major source of income ("full time") or a supplement to your current work.
• Engaged clients: You are connected with clients who fit your specific areas of expertise. BetterHelp provides clients with various ways to connect with you, including scheduled live sessions, shared journal entries, audio and video messages, clinical worksheets, formal goal setting, and tracking.
• Autonomy over clinical decisions: You are the licensed and trained clinician. BetterHelp defers to your clinical judgment and expertise regarding the most effective and clinically appropriate approach for each client.
• Personalized marketing: You will have your own website and profile optimized based on your location, expertise, and availability.
• Resources to keep you connected: BetterHelp has a strong and accessible peer community of over 13,000 therapists available directly through the platform.
• Resources to support you: Therapists on the BetterHelp platform receive a free BetterHelp account to dedicate time to their own self-care!

Who Should Apply:

• Therapists looking for an easy, all-in-one technology platform for telehealth.
• Therapists who want to focus 100% on clinical work – not on acquiring clients, billing, support, or operations.
• Therapists who want a feature-rich platform that is constantly adding new clinical tools – not just video conferencing software.
• Therapists who want the opportunity to work with specific populations or presenting concerns.
• Therapists who do not want to work directly with insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.
• Therapists who are obsessed with privacy and confidentiality and want a state-of-the-art technology platform with secure, encrypted communication.

Requirements:

• Therapists must be fully licensed by a State Board to provide counseling independently (e.g., LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD or similar credentials).
• Experience counseling adults, couples, and/or teens.
• A private environment for conducting sessions.
• Must have professional liability insurance.
• Must pass a background check.
• Reliable Internet connection.
• Currently residing in the US.

NOTE: Unfortunately, if you are an intern or if you require supervision to provide counseling services, you cannot be a provider on BetterHelp at this time. We are unable to accept substance abuse counselors, school counselors, registered nurses, career counselors, Christian counselors, and business coaches unless they have an additional license as a mental health therapist.

Advantages (not mandatory but great to have):

• 20 or more client hours per week preferred.
• Therapists who have experience providing telehealth services.

Note: Therapists are independent providers, not BetterHelp employees.
