Description
Leidos is hiring licensed behavioral health professionals to join our Adult Military and Family Life Counseling (MFLC) team to support Fort Irwin in California.
Join the mission to support U.S. military service members and their families as they work through important military life adjustments while serving their country. The Adult Military and Family Life Counselor (Adult-MFLC) position offers a unique opportunity to serve a vital role, in providing non-medical support, which includes counseling, consultation, and outreach, to service members, military family members and eligible staff. Non-medical counseling is preventive in nature and aims to address and provide solution focused approaches to issues before they become greater challenges.
Service members, spouses and family members face unique emotional and environmental challenges due to the stress of military life. This is an opportunity for you to reach them where and when you are most needed.
Adult-MFLC responsibilities include:
Face-to-face counseling to military service members and their families (individuals, couples, and families).
Observe, participate, and engage in activities with service members, military spouses and families; provide coaching, guidance and support to installation staff; and model behavior management techniques for staff and military family members.
Offer presentations to service members, military families, and military leadership at military-connect events.
Promote creativity and positivity through approved materials.
Build rapport with parents and families by attending installation and community events.
Help with transition adjustments, such as a new school and a new home.
Participate in regular in-service training or other contract activities as assigned.
Communicate information regarding trends and issues at assigned installation to Team Leads.
Adult-MFLC will also benefit from:
No insurance to file.
No progress notes required.
No treatment plans to develop.
iPad provided for easy digital reporting, with no PII or PHI.
Paid federal holidays.
Free and unlimited behavioral healthcare training.
Reimbursement for job-related license renewal fees.
Eligibility to participate in 401K retirement plan.
Centralized support through a Counseling Center of Excellence that provides best practices, expert speakers, and state-of-the-art resources.
Additional Job Duties May Include:
Responding to emergent situations in any physical location on a military installation
Traversing long distances to both indoor and outdoor locations, to maneuver through rugged, outdoor, or uneven locations (ascend/descend), and work in outdoor weather.
Travelling to locations outside of a military base in a variety of physical environments.
Due to the nature of working on military installations or related worksites, counselors may need to comply with various site-specific requirements to work at designated locations.
Minimum Requirements:
A Master’s degree or higher in the Behavioral Health Professions (MS/MSW/MA/PhD).
Licensure to practice at the independent practice level (LCSW, MFT, LPCC, Psychologist) in the US.
Must be a U.S. citizen.
Must be able to pass a basic background check for employment, a Child National Agency Check, and Inquiries (NACI/CNACI) clearance, commonly called a Public Trust clearance.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in family counselor jobs.
- Master's degree in marriage and family therapy, counseling, social work, or a related field
- Active state licensure or associate licensure such as LMFT, LPC, or LCSW
- Experience conducting individual, couples, and family therapy sessions
- Proficiency with electronic health records and clinical documentation standards
- Knowledge of evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, or EFT
- Ability to complete crisis assessments and safety planning with clients
Tips for Your Family Counselor Job Search
Tailor your resume to licensure level
Hiring managers scan for your licensure status immediately. List your credential acronym (LMFT, LPC, LCSW) prominently in your header and match it to what each posting requires, since an associate-level license and a fully licensed position are entirely different roles.
Highlight your clinical hours explicitly
Many family counselor postings require a minimum number of supervised clinical hours. State your completed hours, the supervision model, and the population you served directly on your resume so screeners don't have to guess whether you meet the threshold.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists family counselor openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings by treatment modality
Employers often filter candidates by therapeutic approach. Search for openings that name your core modality, such as CBT, EFT, or DBT, and mirror that language in your resume summary and cover letter to pass applicant tracking systems.
Prepare a case conceptualization example for interviews
Panel interviews for family counselor roles frequently ask you to walk through how you would conceptualize a presenting family case. Prepare one concise, de-identified example that demonstrates your theoretical orientation and your assessment-to-treatment planning process.
Negotiate supervision hours into your offer
If you still need supervised hours toward full licensure, raise this during the offer stage and ask whether the employer provides in-house clinical supervision. Many nonprofit and community mental health employers offer it, and getting this in writing protects your licensure timeline.
Family Counselor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most family counselors?
The companies hiring the most family counselors right now include Leidos, Magellan Health, and Park Lawn Corporation, with the largest share of openings in Pennsylvania, Florida, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Community mental health centers and large hospital systems tend to post the highest volume of openings year-round.
How many family counselor jobs are remote?
About 13% of family counselor openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how broadly telehealth has been adopted in the field. Roles focused on individual adult therapy and couples counseling are most likely to be fully remote, while positions serving children, court-mandated clients, or crisis populations are more often on-site.
How do you become a family counselor?
To become a family counselor, you first complete a master's degree in marriage and family therapy, counseling, or a closely related field. After graduating, you accumulate the supervised clinical hours your state requires, which typically involves working under a licensed clinical supervisor. You then pass your state's licensure examination and apply for full licensure. Requirements differ by state, so check your state licensing board for the exact hour and examination thresholds.
Can you get a family counselor job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level family counselor roles exist specifically for candidates who are newly graduated or still accumulating supervised hours toward full licensure. Community mental health agencies, federally qualified health centers, and school-based programs are the most common employers of associate-licensed counselors. Emphasize your practicum and internship placements, the populations you worked with, and any specialized training such as trauma-informed care or a specific therapeutic modality.
What does the family counselor interview process look like?
Most employers begin with a phone screen focused on licensure status and availability, followed by a structured in-person or video interview with a clinical supervisor or panel. You will typically be asked to describe your theoretical orientation, walk through a de-identified case example, and explain how you handle documentation and treatment planning. Some employers add a second-round interview with department leadership or ask you to complete a brief writing exercise such as a sample progress note.
Where can I find and apply to family counselor jobs?
You can find and apply to family counselor jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings for roles that match your licensure level, preferred population, and work setting, then apply directly to each one that fits. No detours or redirects, just a straightforward path from listing to application.
