About the Role
Lyra developed an innovative video therapy program called Lyra Care Therapy: blending live video sessions with between-session digital psychoeducation and customizable skill building tools. With this program, you’ll have the resources and support you need to ensure that your clients get better—all while improving access to mental health care from your home or preferred setting.
Daily: As a Lyra Care Therapist, you’ll provide short-term, evidence-based treatment via live video, maintaining a caseload of diverse and varied clinical needs. You’ll assign digital lessons, videos, and assessments to your clients to enhance learnings and monitor outcomes between sessions. An important note: Lyra's clients come from a multitude of different backgrounds and experiences, and have varying needs and abilities. We strive to continue to meet their unique needs by delivering culturally responsive care—an approach that accounts for the impact of cultural backgrounds on each person’s care experience.
Regularly: Our therapists enjoy connecting with their peers, who share a passion for providing evidence-based care. You’ll attend one-on-one and peer group clinical consultation meetings, conduct peer-based quality assurance reviews, and attend robust training to enhance your clinical skills. You’ll always have access to expert consultation and support for your most complex clients. It’s like a safety net of resources to help plan the best options—from specialty consultations to culturally responsive care—you’re not alone, even while working remotely within the US.
This role is a great fit if you're a licensed clinician with excellent interpersonal skills, who wants continuous learning and development in their professional career, and thrives in a feedback rich environment. If you have experience with caseloads that include a comprehensive spectrum of mental health needs, from milder presentations to more complex and severe support, we encourage you to apply. If you're comfortable with evolving processes and excited by a rapidly growing business, then this role is for you!

- Experience managing risk and responding to clinical crises, as needed

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Mental Health Jobs at Lyra Health Jobs
Align your licensure with state requirements early
Lyra Health hires clinicians for roles tied to specific state licensure. Confirm your LCSW, LMFT, or LPC is active and transferable before applying, since sponsorship timelines can overlap with licensure renewal windows in ways that create gaps.
Target roles matching your OPT authorization period
If you're on F-1 OPT, focus on full-time clinical positions rather than contract or per-diem roles. Lyra Health's behavioral health platform runs on consistent caseloads, which aligns better with the continuous employment USCIS expects during OPT status.
Clarify sponsorship scope during the offer stage
Lyra Health sponsors both employment-based green card pathways and TN status. Ask your recruiter explicitly whether your role qualifies for PERM-based sponsorship or only TN, since the answer affects your long-term planning before you accept.
Document clinical supervision hours for PERM purposes
For EB-2 or EB-3 green card filings, DOL requires a PERM labor certification tied to your actual job duties. Keep detailed records of supervised clinical hours and specialty areas, since these directly shape how your position is classified in the PERM application.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open roles by visa type
Lyra Health posts mental health roles across multiple states and clinical specialties. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for positions where Lyra Health has sponsored the visa type you need, so you're targeting openings that match your authorization situation.
Prepare for a longer hiring cycle in behavioral health
Lyra Health's clinical hiring includes credential verification, background checks, and payer credentialing that extend the timeline beyond a standard offer. If your OPT or grace period is under 90 days, flag your timeline to the recruiter before the final interview round.

Find Mental Health at Lyra Health JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Lyra Health sponsor H-1B visas for Mental Healths?
Lyra Health's documented sponsorship activity for mental health roles focuses on employment-based green card pathways such as EB-2 and EB-3, along with F-1 OPT and TN status. H-1B sponsorship for clinical mental health positions is less common in the behavioral health industry broadly, so confirm the specific visa types available for your target role directly with Lyra Health's recruiting team during the offer stage.
How do I apply for Mental Health jobs at Lyra Health?
Applications go through Lyra Health's careers page, where roles are listed by clinical specialty and location. You can also browse open mental health positions at Lyra Health filtered by visa sponsorship eligibility on Migrate Mate. Before applying, confirm your licensure is active in the relevant state, since Lyra Health's clinical roles are tied to specific state credentialing requirements that affect both hiring and sponsorship eligibility.
Which visa types does Lyra Health commonly use for Mental Health roles?
Lyra Health supports F-1 OPT and CPT for candidates in clinical training programs, TN status for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying mental health occupations, and employment-based Green Card pathways through EB-2 and EB-3 for longer-term sponsorship. The right category depends on your current status, degree level, and whether your clinical specialty maps cleanly to a USCIS-recognized occupation category.
What qualifications does Lyra Health expect for Mental Health roles?
Lyra Health typically hires licensed clinicians holding credentials such as LCSW, LMFT, LPC, or equivalent, with active licensure in the state where they'll practice. Many roles also require experience delivering evidence-based modalities like CBT or DBT in a structured care setting. For international candidates, your foreign degree may need a credential evaluation confirming equivalency to a U.S. master's or doctoral degree in a relevant mental health field before PERM or visa filing can proceed.
How long does the sponsorship process take for a Mental Health role at Lyra Health?
For TN status, processing can be completed at the border or port of entry in a single day if your documentation is complete. For employment-based Green Card sponsorship through PERM, expect a multi-stage process spanning one to three years from PERM filing through USCIS adjudication, depending on your country of birth and current visa backlog. If you're on F-1 OPT, USCIS requires the H-1B cap-subject petition to be filed before your OPT expires, so align your application timeline accordingly.
