Licensed Mental Health Therapist - Virginia

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.

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

• 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

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.
