Port Charlotte, FL | 1099 or W-2 Position
Attention Therapists!
StrongMind is seeking a fully licensed therapist with experience providing couples counseling to join our Veteran-focused private practice in Port Charlotte, Florida.
This is primarily an in-office position. While telehealth sessions may be provided when clinically appropriate or requested by clients, clinicians must be available to provide consistent in-person counseling sessions from our Port Charlotte office. This position is not fully remote.
Although couples counseling is a primary need for this role, your caseload will also include individual therapy with Veterans and other adults. We are looking for someone who enjoys working with both couples and individuals while providing compassionate, evidence-based care.
This is a part-time position with the opportunity to grow into a full-time caseload based on your availability and referral volume.
Preference will be given to clinicians who are already credentialed with Optum, though this is not required.
About StrongMind
StrongMind is a Veteran-owned counseling practice committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based mental health care to Veterans and the local community. Founded by a female disabled Veteran, we understand the unique experiences many of our clients bring into the therapy room and are passionate about providing compassionate, effective care.
As a small private practice, we value collaboration, clinical autonomy, and creating an environment where both clinicians and clients feel supported. We believe great therapy comes from clinicians who are encouraged to practice authentically while continuing to grow professionally.
Who We're Looking For
We're seeking a clinician who:
- Holds a current, unrestricted Florida license (LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT)
- Has experience and confidence providing couples counseling
- Enjoys providing individual therapy to adults
- Is passionate about serving Veterans and appreciates military culture
- Is available to provide consistent in-person counseling sessions in our Port Charlotte office
- Provides high-quality, client-centered, evidence-based care
- Values collaboration and consultation with colleagues
- Is organized, dependable, and professional
- Is preferably already credentialed with Optum
Position Details
Your caseload may include:
- Couples counseling
- Individual therapy for Veterans
- Individual therapy for other adults
- A combination of in-office and telehealth sessions, with in-person availability required
Scheduling is flexible, and we'll work with you to build a schedule that fits your availability while meeting client needs.
What We Offer
- Choice of 1099 or W-2 employment
- Full administrative support, including scheduling, billing, credentialing, and insurance management
- Marketing and referral support
- A furnished, private office
- Flexible scheduling
- A collaborative, supportive team environment
- Opportunities for professional growth and consultation
Please Note
This position is expected to begin as part-time. Caseload growth depends on your availability, referral volume, and insurance credentialing timelines. While we have an established referral base, building a full caseload takes time.
Join Our Team

Tips for Your Couples Therapist Job Search
Lead your resume with modality credentials
Employers scan for specific modalities before anything else. List your EFT, Gottman Level certifications, or AASECT credentials in a dedicated section near the top, not buried under a generic skills list that could belong to any therapist.
Filter openings by licensure requirement
Many postings require a fully licensed clinician, while others are open to registered interns or associate-level candidates. Read the licensure requirement before applying so you don't waste time on roles your current credential doesn't meet.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists couples therapist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your cover letter to the presenting population
Practices serving LGBTQ+ couples, military families, or perinatal clients expect you to name that population directly. Show you understand the clinical context, not just that you do couples work generally.
Prepare a case conceptualization for your interview
Most hiring panels ask you to walk through how you'd approach a presenting couple. Prepare a brief, structured example using your primary modality that demonstrates assessment, goal-setting, and a realistic treatment arc.
Negotiate supervision hours into your offer
If you're working toward licensure, supervised hours are compensation. Ask upfront how many individual and group supervision hours per month are included, because this varies significantly across employers and affects your timeline to full licensure.
Couples Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most couples therapists?
The companies hiring the most couples therapists right now include Thriveworks, LifeStance Health, and Kapolei Counseling Center, with the largest share of openings in Illinois, Delaware, and Colorado, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Demand is strongest at group private practices and telehealth providers that specialize in relationship and family services.
How many couples therapist jobs are remote?
About 69% of couples therapist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the growth of telehealth platforms offering relationship counseling. Telehealth-first employers and employee assistance program contractors tend to post the highest share of fully remote roles, while community mental health centers almost always require in-person attendance.
How do you become a couples therapist?
You become a couples therapist by completing a master's or doctoral program in marriage and family therapy, counseling, social work, or psychology, then accruing the supervised clinical hours your state requires for licensure. After licensure, most clinicians pursue specialized training in a structured modality such as Emotionally Focused Therapy or the Gottman Method to qualify for roles that require demonstrated couples-specific competency.
Can you get hired as a couples therapist with limited experience?
Yes, entry-level and associate-level roles exist specifically for clinicians who are pre-licensed or recently licensed, provided you are enrolled in a supervision arrangement your employer recognizes. Group practices that serve high-volume caseloads often hire associate therapists and provide the supervision hours needed to reach full licensure, so targeting those settings is the most practical path when your experience is limited.
What does the couples therapist interview process look like?
Most hiring processes begin with a phone screen covering licensure status and modality background, followed by a panel or one-on-one interview where you'll be asked to walk through a case conceptualization or describe your approach to a common presenting issue. Some group practices also request a brief demonstration session or ask about your experience with a specific couple population they serve, such as LGBTQ+ clients or those navigating infidelity.
Where can I find and apply to couples therapist jobs?
You can find and apply to couples therapist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from practices, telehealth platforms, and mental health organizations across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your licensure level and modality training, then apply directly to each opening that fits.
