Licensed Mental Health Therapist — Full-Time
Remote · Maryland License Required

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 believe the quality of care kids receive is directly tied to how well we support the people delivering it.

If you're a licensed therapist who wants a full-time caseload, real career growth, and a team that actually shows up for you — keep reading.

What this role looks like

You'll carry a caseload of 25–36 sessions per week, providing individual, family, and group therapy via telehealth. Most of our clinicians work weekday afternoons and evenings (2–9 PM), with weekend availability a plus. Strong referral flow means consistent income from the start.

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-C, LCPC, or LMFT (independently licensed)
• $45/billable hour — LMSW or LGPC (supervision provided; limited openings)
• Medical, dental, and vision
• 401(k) with 3% company match
• PTO
• $300 annual CEU reimbursement
• Free clinical supervision for eligible licenses via our residency prorgram
• $25,000 company-paid life insurance
• Administrative support from our experienced Care Coordinators so you can focus on delivering care
• Pathways into clinical leadership, including our Residency & Fellowship Program

What we're looking for

• Master’s Degree or higher from an accredited school of Social Work, Psychology, Counseling or Marriage, or Family and Child Counseling.
• Active Maryland license: LGPC, LCPC, LMSW, LMFT or LCSW-C
• Experience with children, teens, and families
• Comfortable working independently in a remote setting
• Strong technological skills and learning new systems, including Zoom, GSuite (Google Calendar, Gmail, etc.), electronic health record systems, and other collaboration tools
• 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 building something real in Maryland, and we want clinicians who want to grow with us — into supervision, leadership, and mentorship roles as we scale.

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.
