Full 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.
