How do you become a clinical social worker in New York?
To become a licensed clinical social worker in New York, you must earn a Master of Social Work from a CSWE-accredited program, complete the supervised post-graduate hours required by the New York State Education Department, and pass the ASWB Clinical examination. The New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions oversees LCSW licensure and processes applications. Many candidates begin as a Licensed Master Social Worker while accumulating the supervised hours needed for the LCSW.
Which companies hire clinical social workers in New York?
Employers hiring clinical social workers in New York right now include LifeStance Health, Brave Health, and CHE Behavioral Health Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. New York's concentration of large hospital networks, nonprofit community health organizations, and public agencies like the Administration for Children's Services means consistent openings across a wide range of settings and specialties.
Which New York cities have the most clinical social worker jobs?
New York, Bronx, and Queens have the most clinical social worker openings in New York. New York City drives the bulk of demand because of its dense network of hospital systems, community mental health clinics, and child welfare agencies, while Albany and Buffalo contribute openings tied to state government programs, regional hospital systems, and nonprofit behavioral health providers serving upstate populations.
Are there remote clinical social worker jobs in New York?

Case manager and crisis counselor roles at community mental health organizations are common lateral entry points, and completing your LMSW before graduating gives you a measurable edge in a competitive market.
