Licensed Clinical Social Worker Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a licensed clinical social worker in Massachusetts?

To become a licensed clinical social worker in Massachusetts, you must earn a Master of Social Work from a CSWE-accredited program, complete the required supervised clinical hours under a board-approved supervisor, and pass the ASWB Clinical examination. Licensure is granted by the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Social Workers. Massachusetts also requires LICSW applicants to document a specific number of supervised hours in direct clinical practice before sitting for the exam.

Which companies hire licensed clinical social workers in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring licensed clinical social workers in Massachusetts right now include Career Land Center, MTC Care, and Presence, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's dense concentration of academic medical centers, community health centers, and statewide behavioral health networks means the breadth of employer types is wider here than in most states.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most licensed clinical social worker jobs?

Boston, Springfield, and Sudbury have the most licensed clinical social worker openings in Massachusetts. Boston dominates due to its concentration of academic medical centers and behavioral health organizations, while Worcester and Springfield reflect strong community mental health infrastructure and growing integrated care systems that consistently recruit clinical social workers across outpatient and crisis settings.

Are there remote licensed clinical social worker jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, and more than most clinical roles. About 50% of licensed clinical social worker openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how broadly telehealth has been adopted in outpatient behavioral health since the pandemic. Individual therapy, care coordination, and some intake assessment roles are the most consistently offered in fully remote or hybrid formats.

How can I get hired as a licensed clinical social worker in Massachusetts with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a post-graduate clinical fellowship or training program at a Massachusetts hospital or community mental health center, where supervised hours count toward LICSW licensure while you gain paid experience. Mass General Brigham, Boston Medical Center, and the Vinfen network all run structured programs for clinicians at the LCSW or pre-LICSW stage. Roles titled clinical social worker I, case manager, or outpatient therapist frequently serve as entry points, and candidates with strong practicum placements in Massachusetts settings tend to move fastest.

Where can I find and apply to licensed clinical social worker jobs in Massachusetts?

You can find and apply to licensed clinical social worker jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings across hospital systems, community behavioral health organizations, and outpatient practices.
