You did not go to graduate school to be a referral into a void.
Most clinicians in Central Florida work alone. You send a client to a prescriber and never hear back. You suspect a developmental issue and have nowhere to send the family. You carry the whole case yourself, and the family carries the paperwork from one office to the next.
ZODU was built to end that.
ZODU is an Integrated Family Health System that gives families and caregivers one clear path to health by coordinating medical, behavioral, developmental, and rehabilitative care into one coordinated ecosystem. Our divisions - ZODU Health, ZODU ABA Services, ZODU Home Health Care, ZODU Therapy, and ZODU Care - work as one system, not as a list of services. Inside ZODU you get warm handoffs, not referrals into a void.
We are hiring a bilingual Spanish/English licensed clinician for the Orlando area.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Provide individual, couples, and family therapy to a bilingual caseload
- Complete assessments, treatment plans, and clinical documentation to payer standard
- Coordinate directly with our BCBAs, SLPs, OTs, PTs, and prescriber, inside the same system, not by fax
- Participate in interdisciplinary case review for complex families
- Work alongside each family's pediatrician and primary care partner, not instead of them
WHAT YOU BRING
- Active Florida license as LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT
- Clinical fluency in Spanish and English. This is a hard requirement, not a preference
- A family-systems view of the case: we see the whole story
- Sound documentation habits and comfort working in an EHR
- Master's degree in counseling, social work, marriage and family therapy, or a closely related field
NICE TO HAVE
- CBT and ACT experience
- Experience with commercial payers
- Experience with children, adolescents, or medically complex families
COMPENSATION, AND HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS
We publish the structure up front, because you deserve to know it before you apply and not after.
- 1099 track: 60% of collected clinical revenue. On our current payer mix that lands at roughly $60 to $70 per clinical hour, and higher on self-pay sessions.
- W2 track: hourly, in the same $60 to $70 range, with paid time off for full-time clinicians and a 401(k).
- You choose the track. We will walk you through the math in the first conversation.
SCHEDULE AND SETTING
This role is based at our Orlando office at 1525 S Alafaya Trl. It is primarily on-site, with some hybrid flexibility once you are established. Full-time and part-time schedules are both available.
WHY ZODU
- Referrals come from inside the system. You are not marketing to build your own caseload
- Colleagues across behavioral, developmental, rehabilitative, and home-based care, in the same organization
- Clinical leadership from a licensed marriage and family therapist supervisor
- Documentation and billing support, so your hours stay clinical
- Our values: compassion, integrity, dignity, service, stewardship, hope, and excellence

Mental Health Technician Jobs in Orlando: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mental health technician job in Orlando?
Focus your search on Orlando's largest hiring pockets: the Lake Nona Medical City campus, the cluster of behavioral health facilities along the Orange Blossom Trail, and the network of residential treatment and crisis stabilization units serving the greater Orlando metro. Inpatient psychiatric and substance use disorder programs hire the most consistently. Hands-on experience with de-escalation, CPR certification, and familiarity with electronic health records will give you a clear edge over other applicants.
Which companies hire mental health technicians in Orlando?
Orlando mental health technician roles are posted by LifeStance Health, AVZ, and Legion Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. The local market is anchored by large hospital systems, freestanding psychiatric hospitals, and community behavioral health organizations that operate multiple sites across Orange and Osceola counties.
Are there remote mental health technician jobs in Orlando?
Yes, but only for a narrow slice of the role, since most mental health technician work is hands-on and requires physical presence with patients. About 54% of mental health technician openings tied to Orlando are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, covering functions like telehealth observation support and care coordination documentation. On-floor patient monitoring and crisis intervention remain fully on-site.
How can I get a mental health technician job in Orlando with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Orlando is applying to crisis stabilization units and detox facilities, which routinely hire candidates with a high school diploma and complete their own on-the-job training. Facilities affiliated with the Central Florida behavioral health network and county-contracted residential programs are especially open to entry-level applicants. Volunteering at a local mental health nonprofit or completing a short CPI or mental health first aid course before applying strengthens any application.
Which industries hire the most mental health technicians in Orlando?
Most mental health technician openings in Orlando sit in Healthcare & Medical Services, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Orlando's large tourism workforce, veteran population, and rapid residential growth have driven sustained investment in both inpatient and community-based behavioral health infrastructure across those sectors.
