Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP/LPCC) - Remote

This is a remote position. Role Type: Contract (full or part time) Salary: $50-$60/session, up to $97,000 annually

About Swell:

Swell is on a mission to improve mental health support for military families. We envision a world of healthier, happier, kinder, and more mentally resilient people - and we’re making this possible through our full-circle mental health platform.

Last year we launched our telehealth therapy app, intended to help military members and spouses access evidence-based mental health therapy whenever they need it, covered by TRICARE. Our platform combines traditional 1:1 video therapy sessions with a mobile application designed to enhance skill adoption outside of the session, and reduce the overall time-to-benefit in therapy. Overtime we’ll also be building out a self-guided portion of our platform focused on Interventional & Preventative mental healthcare for individuals and couples.

We’re a small startup created by a group of therapists, social workers, military spouses, and former service members. We’re passionate about improving access and outcomes for the military community and are looking for therapists (full or part-time) to join our team. If you’re excited about our mission and eager to support this community, then we want to talk to you!

  • Provide evidence-based therapy via 55-minute live video sessions to adult clients.

  • Manage a consistent weekly caseload of clients (you choose how many sessions work for your lifestyle)

  • Establish and track goals in partnership with each of your clients, monitoring outcomes over time.

  • Assign & review in-app homework (video modules, daily journaling, check-ins, etc) tailored for each client.

  • Maintain progress notes and participate in quality reviews
