Hello & Welcome!!

Since 2013, we have provided over 100,000+ Telehealth sessions and continue to expand nationwide in 40+ states. Our licensed online mental health therapists support students, parents, schools, and private pay clients via live video conferencing. TeleMental Health allows these highly trained social workers, school counselors, and therapists to deliver pivotal therapy sessions to K-12 and college students through our school partnerships. We also support EAP programs, businesses, families, and individuals. 

At Virtual Counselor, we view therapy from a holistic perspective, recognizing your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health are interconnected. We believe that counseling is a collaborative, action-oriented process providing you the opportunity to discover your inherent worth, inner resources, and capacity for resilience.

We are hiring fully licensed professionals to join our diverse network of national clinicians as independent contractors. We may consider provisional (pre-licensed) therapists in some programs. Each therapist is chosen to be a part of this independent network of clinicians based on personal and professional accolades but without all of the hassles of starting up and managing your business alone. Independent contractors are hired to work in one or multiple areas of programming.

We have several areas of programming- Let’s see if this will be a good fit for you!

The K-12 School Counseling Team is dedicated to partnering with School Administration to provide comprehensive telehealth services in unison with student educational goals. Virtual counseling is offered in the form of weekly individual, group, and parent training as a Special Education Related Service. In addition to direct service time, clinicians will be responsible for completing progress notes, goal plans, monthly paperwork, quarterly progress reports, and other applicable paperwork. This is considered a collaborative role in which clinicians are an extension of the school's IEP team. All referrals for this role are provided directly by Virtual Counselor and our partnering schools.

College Telehealth is a Specialized Online Mental Health Network designed to partner with universities, creating a customizable accessible, action-oriented resource, to support students develop autonomy and independence. College Telehealth was designed for colleges & college students with limited mental health resources to assist students in finding a healthy balance between emotional wellness and academic success during their transition to adulthood.

Are you interested in supplementing or building an online therapy practice, but don’t have the resources, knowledge, or experience to do so on your own? Join our team and we will mentor your growth and provide you with opportunities for referrals. Clinicians will be supported in growing their online private practice as part of our national network and through our company EAP - Employee Assistance Programs. 

• Niche Area of specialization is preferred (anxiety, trauma, DBT, substance abuse, eating disorders, etc.)
• Clinician Set Rates: Clinicians determine individualized rates based on their specialty and demographic locations.
• EAP: Therapists can join our existing EAP contracts.
• Networking: With our guidance, therapists should be willing to network to grow their referral base and recognition in the community as needed. This is a mutual marketing effort. 

There are several factors that determine the reimbursement rate we offer clinicians. First, it is important that we hire outstanding clinicians to join Virtual Counselor that are a good fit for our program model. The interview process helps us to learn more about you and which area(s) or program will best utilize your strengths, experience, leadership, and clinical skills.  Cross-state licensure is complex and we need to be acutely aware of the risks and ethical standards when determining what area of programming a therapist can work in. By talking with you, we can collectively determine if becoming a core vs. affiliate clinician is the best fit. We have both a % based and flat-rate reimbursement model. In addition to credentials/experience, additional criteria may be considered:

• Ability to work in multiple areas of programming or multistate license
• Commitment to a higher caseload
• Desire to join our leadership and program development team
• Length of employment
• Non-clinical strengths and skillset
• Core vs. Affiliate Clinician
• Masters vs. Doctoral Level
• Demand in specific states
• Bilingual
