Job description

About Lyra

Lyra is transforming mental health care through technology with a human touch to help people feel emotionally healthy at work and at home. We work with industry leaders, such as Morgan Stanley, Uber, Amgen, and other Fortune 500 companies, to improve access to effective, high-quality mental health care for their employees and their families. With our innovative digital care platform and global provider network, nearly 20 million people can receive the best care and feel better, faster. Founded by David Ebersman, former CFO of Facebook and Genentech, Lyra has raised more than $900 million in funding to support our mission of improving access to high-quality mental healthcare.

FURTHER EXPANDING ACCESS: We are currently prioritizing hiring clinicians, counselors, mental health providers, psychologists, and therapists in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. We will continue to welcome applications from all other states and sponsor cross-licensure across selected states to ensure clinicians are set up for success to support caseload goals.

About the Role: Lyra developed an innovative video therapy program called Lyra Care Therapy: blending live video sessions with between-session digital psychoeducation and customizable skill-building tools. With this program, you’ll have the resources and support you need to ensure that your clients get better—all while improving access to mental health care from your home or preferred setting.

Daily: As a part-time Lyra Care Therapist, you’ll provide short-term, evidence-based treatment via live video, maintaining a caseload of diverse and varied clinical needs. You’ll assign digital lessons, videos, and assessments to your clients to enhance learnings and monitor outcomes between sessions.

An important note: Lyra's clients come from a multitude of different backgrounds and experiences and have varying needs and abilities. We strive to continue to meet their unique needs by delivering culturally responsive care—an approach that accounts for the impact of cultural backgrounds on each person’s care experience.

Regularly: Our therapists enjoy connecting with their peers, who share a passion for providing evidence-based care. You'll attend dedicated one-on-one meetings every other month and have access to robust training to enhance your clinical skills. You'll always receive expert clinical consultation and support on demand for your most complex clients. It’s like a safety net of resources to help plan the best options—from specialty consultations to culturally responsive care—you’re not alone, even while working remotely within the US.

This role is a great fit if you're a licensed clinician looking for part-time flexibility, who has excellent interpersonal skills, wants continuous learning and development in their professional career, and thrives in a feedback-rich environment. If you have experience with caseloads that include a comprehensive spectrum of mental health needs, from milder presentations to more complex and severe support, we encourage you to apply. If you're comfortable with evolving processes and excited by a rapidly growing business, then this role is for you!

Requirements

• Master’s degree from a clinical track (e.g., MSW, MFT, MC, MMHC)
• Unrestricted LCSW, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, PhD, or equivalent license (i.e., able to work independently, without supervision from a licensed supervisor) without current, past, or pending disciplinary action
• Experience and commitment to providing evidence-based treatments (e.g., ACT, CBT, CPT, DBT) and clinical best practices (e.g., measurement-based care, promoting skills practice)
• Experience managing risk and responding to clinical crises as needed
• Experience providing video therapy
• Experience maintaining a part-time clinical caseload of adult and/or adolescent clients/week (19 potential bookable calendar spots per week)
• Ability to work part-time, with options to set your 24-hour schedule per week
• Ability to manage schedule and breaks efficiently
• Full-time resident of the United States
