Counselor Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a counselor in Washington?
To become a licensed counselor in Washington, you complete a master's degree in counseling or a related field and then apply through the Washington State Department of Health, which oversees credentials including the Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, and Licensed Agency Affiliated Counselor designations. Most clinical licenses require supervised post-degree hours and a passing score on a board-approved exam such as the National Counselor Examination before the Department of Health issues a full license.
Which companies hire counselors in Washington?
Companies currently hiring counselors in Washington include LifeStance Health, State of Washington, and Leidos, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's large integrated health systems, county behavioral health agencies, and federally qualified health centers are among the most consistent sources of counselor openings across the state.
Which Washington cities have the most counselor jobs?
Seattle, Everett, and Washington State have the most counselor openings in Washington. Seattle drives the largest share due to its dense concentration of hospital systems, community mental health centers, and nonprofit behavioral health agencies, while Spokane and Tacoma generate steady demand through their own regional health systems and county-funded behavioral health programs serving substantial local populations.
Are there remote counselor jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're more selective than in purely desk-based fields, since much counseling work involves direct client interaction that many employers prefer on site. About 46% of counselor openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting steady telehealth adoption since the pandemic. Outpatient mental health counseling and employee assistance program roles tend to offer the most remote flexibility compared to school-based or residential positions.
How can I get hired as a counselor in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing an Agency Affiliated Counselor registration through the Washington State Department of Health, which allows supervised practice before full licensure and is accepted by many community behavioral health agencies for associate-level roles. Large Washington employers such as MultiCare and county behavioral health departments regularly hire counseling associates and case managers who are completing their supervised hours. Adjacent roles like case manager, crisis line counselor, and residential support specialist are common stepping stones that build the clinical documentation and population experience Washington hiring managers look for.
Where can I find and apply to counselor jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to counselor jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings updated regularly. Search the listings to find roles that match your license level, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
