Entry Level Clinical Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level clinical therapist job?

Entry level clinical therapist positions typically look for a completed master's degree in counseling, social work, or a related field, plus supervised clinical hours from a practicum or internship. Candidates who can show direct client contact hours, familiarity with evidence-based modalities like CBT or DBT, and a state licensure application in progress stand out most at this stage.

Which companies hire entry level clinical therapists?

Companies hiring entry level clinical therapists right now include LifeStance Health, Sutter Health, and Adventist HealthCare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Community mental health centers, outpatient behavioral health practices, school districts, and hospital systems tend to be the most active employers at the new grad and junior level.

Are there remote entry level clinical therapist jobs?

Yes, though most entry level roles are on-site or hybrid given the hands-on nature of clinical work. About 29% of entry level clinical therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, most commonly in telehealth platforms and large behavioral health organizations that support virtual care delivery.

Are these new grad clinical therapist jobs?

Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior clinical therapist roles. A posting is generally new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internship or practicum hours toward requirements, or accepts candidates who are pre-licensed and working toward full licensure under supervision.

Which industries hire the most entry level clinical therapists?

Entry Level clinical therapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Consulting & Professional Services, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they rely on a steady pipeline of newly graduated clinicians to meet high demand for mental health, behavioral, and counseling services.
