Who this fits
This suits an independently licensed clinician who wants structured, remote outpatient work with clinical autonomy and operational support. The job is not for clinicians seeking licensure supervision or a fully self-directed 1099 or private-practice arrangement.
From the employer
Talkiatry is a virtual mental health practice built by clinicians, for clinicians. Our care model, workflows, and infrastructure are intentionally designed to support high-quality outpatient care and expand access to patients with the care they need.
This role is designed for independently licensed therapists who want:
Predictable, W-2 compensation and full benefits
Flexible scheduling within a structured outpatient model
Minimal administrative burden in a fully remote environment
Clear expectations around caseload, documentation, and pace
Our outpatient therapy model is intentionally built for virtual care, not retrofitted from inpatient or hospital systems, allowing you to deliver thoughtful and structured care.
What your day-to-day practice looks like:
100% remote, outpatient therapy
Lower to moderate acuity populations (ex. anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, mood disorders, OCD, others)
Standard session lengths (60-minute intakes and follow-ups)
Consistent outpatient caseload with defined, transparent goals
In-house referral network to/from psychiatrists
Full operational support including scheduling, billing, intake coordination, credentialing, and licensing
Clinical autonomy & flexibility:
Independent treatment decision-making
Input into schedule and weekly availability within operational guidelines
Clinical approach within evidence-based standards
Care expectations are shaped by practicing clinicians, reinforcing professional judgment, and shared accountability for quality.
You practice independently, with accessible clinical leadership available for consultation and support. Our role is to remove administrative work so you can focus on patient care. This model works best for clinicians who value delivering high-quality, evidence-based care to patients.
What we're looking for:
Independently licensed therapists (LCSW, LMFT, LPC, LMHC or equivalent)
Active, unrestricted license (multi-state licensing support available)
Comfort managing a consistent outpatient caseload
Strong clinical judgment, communication skills, and independent decision-making
Comfort practicing in a fast-paced but sustainable outpatient environment
(Highly desired) Experience from outpatient, community mental health, hospital, IOP, or other structured clinical settings
(Highly desired) Experience with structured, skills-based modalities (ex. CBT, ACT, MI, DBT-informed care)
Please note, this role is not designed for clinicians seeking supervision toward licensure or those looking to build a fully self-directed 1099/Private Practice. You will be a part of our team!
Compensation, Benefits & Stability:
Full-time and part-time W-2 employment
$90K base salary with the ability to earn up to $20k in incentives
Tenure-based increases after 2 years
Employer-paid health, dental, vision insurance (up to 100% of premiums)
401(k) match with employer match
Paid time off (PTO), paid sick time and 11 paid holidays
Paid parental leave and long-term retention benefits (ex. 4-week paid sabbatical after 5 years)

CME reimbursement and dedicated CME days
Licensing support with upfront coverage of costs
