Clarity Counseling Part-Time Licensed Therapist (LMFT / LCSW / LPCC) Remote · Part time Company website

Apply for Part-Time Licensed Therapist (LMFT / LCSW / LPCC)

Clarity Counseling is a California-based, online-only, insurance-accepting mental health group practice. Our mission is to reduce suffering as efficiently as possible — through focused, evidence-based therapy that produces real change, not indefinite support. We are a small, intentional practice with a strong clinical culture. The work is rigorous and the standards are high — and the team is honest, warm, and genuinely invested in each other's growth. Clinicians here work directly with the owner, get paid for every hour they work, and inherit a full caseload from day one. We take burnout seriously enough to measure it monthly. We take clinical development seriously enough to fund it. If you're looking for a W-2 position at a practice that treats you like a professional rather than a contractor on a platform — this is it.

This is a part-time position (~23 hours/week at full load). The employment type indicator above may not reflect Gusto's rendering accurately.

What makes this different from BetterHelp, Headway, or a 1099 platform:

• You inherit an existing caseload — 15 to 17 clients from week one
• We handle all billing and insurance collections — you get paid regardless of whether insurance pays
• You are paid for every hour worked — clinical, admin, and meetings. Zero unpaid overhead.
• Your compensation tier is assigned by experience and documented in writing — no negotiation
• This practice is owned and operated by a licensed LMFT — not a VC-backed platform

The Role

The first therapists we hire will inherit an existing caseload. You will have 15–17 active clients from your first week or two — no cold outreach, no waiting to ramp up. Clients are adults presenting primarily with depression, anxiety, and related concerns. All sessions are via telehealth to clients physically located in California.

Responsibilities:

• Deliver individual, family, and group therapy via HIPAA-compliant telehealth
• Complete session documentation within 24 hours using SimplePractice
• Complete treatment plans within one week of intake; revise every 90 days
• Administer PHQ-9 or GAD-7 at every session to track client progress
• Attend paid monthly all-hands: clinical training, team connection, case discussion

Compensation

• Base rate: $30.00/hour for all hours actually worked — clinical, administrative, and meetings
• Session bonuses: $8–$21 per completed session depending on CPT code and your experience tier
• Tier 1 (0–5 yrs post-licensure): ~$43,288 annualized at full load
• Tier 2 (5–15 yrs): ~$44,665 annualized at full load
• Tier 3 (15+ yrs): ~$46,502 annualized at full load
• Specialty add-on bonuses available for Coherence Therapy, TEAM-CBT, EMDR, and IFS
• Tier is assigned at hire from your BBS license date — documented in writing, no negotiation required

Benefits

• Malpractice insurance — group professional liability, Day 1
• Paid sick leave — California statutory, Day 1
• AI-assisted documentation tool — Day 1
• Monthly burnout monitoring (MBI + AWLS) — we measure clinician wellbeing and act on it
• Clinical training platform — Day 1
• PTO: 10 days/year prorated to actual scheduled hours; paid at base hourly rate
• 10 paid holidays + 2 floating holidays, prorated
• CE stipend: $350/year
• Healthcare stipend: $125/month toward individual coverage costs
• 401(k) with Safe Harbor employer match — after 6 months
• Group health/dental/vision insurance not offered

What This Job Is — and Isn't

This is a W-2 employee position, not a 1099 contractor role. You can hold other employment as long as it does not conflict with your scheduled client hours — the requirement is availability and reliability for your clients, not exclusivity. Documentation timelines (24-hour notes) are a firm standard, not a guideline.

Requirements

• Active, unrestricted California license in good standing (LMFT, LCSW, or LPCC)
• Private, soundproofed workspace with reliable internet
• Comfort with EHR platforms and basic telehealth troubleshooting
• Commitment to 24-hour documentation turnaround

Preferred:

• Experience with adults presenting with depression or anxiety
• Training in CBT, DBT, Coherence Therapy, TEAM-CBT, EMDR, or IFS
• Prior insurance-based or productivity-tracked clinical setting
