Entry Level Licensed Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level licensed therapist job?
Entry level licensed therapist roles typically look for a master's degree in counseling, social work, or a related field, along with supervised clinical hours completed during your practicum or internship. Candidates who can show documented hours, familiarity with a specific population such as adolescents or adults with anxiety, and a state licensure credential or active associate license stand out most at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level licensed therapists?
Companies hiring entry level licensed therapists right now include LifeStance Health, Optum, and HealthPRO Heritage, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hiring at this level covers community mental health centers, outpatient clinics, school districts, and behavioral health group practices that routinely bring on new graduates working toward full licensure.
Are there remote entry level licensed therapist jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by state licensure requirements and employer. About 51% of entry level licensed therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with telehealth platforms and multi-state group practices accounting for most of those postings. Many remote roles still require an active license in the state where clients are located.
Are these new grad licensed therapist jobs?
Yes, this page includes new grad, recent graduate, and junior licensed therapist roles alongside other entry level postings. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of post-degree experience, accepts supervised internship or practicum hours in place of independent practice, and does not require a fully independent license as a condition of hire.
Which industries hire the most entry level licensed therapists?
Entry Level licensed therapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services and Insurance, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Those sectors drive the most new-grad hiring because demand for mental health services continues to grow faster than the pool of credentialed clinicians, creating consistent openings for candidates early in their careers.
