Clinical Therapist
- Remote Contract Position (1099)
- $50-$75 per session (based on experience & licensure level)
- Flexible Schedule – Set Your Own Hours
- Part-time & Full-time Options Available
Are you a licensed therapist passionate about couples counseling, individual therapy, and relationship-focused healing for adults 18+? Do you have experience with evidence-based couples therapy techniques like the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), or Systems Therapy? If you’re looking for a collaborative, growth-oriented private practice, we’d love to connect with you.
At Encourage Counseling, we’re looking for clinicians who are engaging, culturally competent, and client-centered. You should thrive in a collaborative environment, bring positive energy to your work, and be committed to providing a safe, affirming space for individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds. Strong work ethic and reliability are essential—we expect professionalism, organization, and dependability in scheduling, documentation, and client care. Above all, we want therapists who are genuinely invested in their clients’ emotional well-being and personal growth.
We require a minimum of 10-12 client sessions per week for part-time clinicians, with a recommended schedule of 12-14 sessions to account for no-shows. For full-time clinicians, the minimum is 20 client sessions per week, with a recommended schedule of up to 25 sessions to maintain a steady caseload.
If you’re ready to grow within a supportive and thriving practice, let’s talk!
