Intellect Care (Counselling/ Psychotherapy) is a collaborative process to guide, explore and/or resolve personal, social, or psychological problems and difficulties.
Counselling is most useful when clients seek tools or techniques to support their mental health. Psychotherapy identifies unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviours which may limit the client's quality of life or daily activities and equip clients with more helpful and effective ways of thinking, behaving and relating to others.

Clinical Counselor Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a clinical counselor in Massachusetts?
To practice as a clinical counselor in Massachusetts, you must earn licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Allied Mental Health and Human Services Professions. The path requires a master's degree in counseling or a related clinical field, completion of supervised post-graduate hours, and passage of the National Counselor Examination or equivalent approved exam. Many candidates begin accumulating supervised hours in community mental health or outpatient settings immediately after graduation.
Which companies hire clinical counselors in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring clinical counselors in Massachusetts right now include Intellect and Stoughton Counseling, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's dense network of community behavioral health centers, academic medical systems, and residential treatment programs means consistent openings across both nonprofit providers and large integrated health systems throughout the state.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most clinical counselor jobs?
Massachusetts, Lynn, and Salem have the most clinical counselor openings in Massachusetts. Boston anchors demand through its concentration of academic medical centers, teaching hospitals, and large behavioral health networks, while Worcester and Springfield serve as regional hubs for community mental health and substance use treatment organizations that draw funding and patients from across central and western Massachusetts.
Are there remote clinical counselor jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely desk-based fields, since clinical counselors frequently provide in-person therapy, conduct assessments, and work within care teams that require physical presence. About 100% of clinical counselor openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026. Telehealth counseling positions, particularly for outpatient individual therapy and follow-up care, represent the segment most likely to offer fully remote or hybrid schedules.
How can I get hired as a clinical counselor in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a counselor or case manager role at a Massachusetts community mental health center while completing post-graduate supervised hours toward your LMHC. Employers such as Vinfen, Advocates, and the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership regularly hire associate-level clinicians and mental health counselors who are in the licensure process. Related roles like crisis counselor, behavioral health specialist, or residential counselor at a community provider give hands-on clinical hours that count toward licensure and open doors to full counselor positions.
