Counselor Jobs in Montana: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a counselor in Montana?
Becoming a counselor in Montana requires licensure through the Montana Board of Behavioral Health, which oversees credentials including the Licensed Addictions Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor designations. Candidates typically complete a master's degree in counseling or a related field, accumulate supervised clinical hours, and pass a national board exam such as the NCE or NCMHCE. The board also offers a Licensed Associate Counselor credential for graduates who are still completing their post-degree supervision hours.
Which companies hire counselors in Montana?
Montana counselor roles are posted by Sunshine Academy, ACI Federal, and HER Campaign and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Behavioral health centers, tribal health departments, and the Montana university system are among the most consistent sources of counselor openings across the state.
Which Montana cities have the most counselor jobs?
Billings, Laurel, and Ashland are the Montana cities with the most counselor openings. Billings leads as the state's largest city and a regional medical hub, Missoula draws demand from the University of Montana and a dense network of nonprofit behavioral health agencies, and Great Falls sees steady hiring through its hospital system and Veterans Affairs health services.
Are there remote counselor jobs in Montana?
Yes, and more than most clinical fields, because telehealth has expanded significantly for talk-based counseling. About 0% of counselor openings tied to Montana are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, reflecting the state's large rural geography and ongoing telehealth investment. Positions in individual therapy, case management, and crisis line counseling are the most likely to offer fully remote or hybrid arrangements.
How can I get hired as a counselor in Montana with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a Licensed Associate Counselor role while you complete your post-degree supervised hours, which large Montana employers like RiverStone Health and community mental health centers actively support through structured supervision programs. Case manager, behavioral health technician, and peer support specialist positions at these same organizations are common lateral starting points that count toward licensure experience. Completing a practicum or internship with a Montana tribal health program or the Montana Department of Corrections also gives candidates a strong foothold in the state's high-need sectors.
Where can I find and apply to counselor jobs in Montana?
