About Us
InStride Health's mission is to deliver specialty anxiety and OCD care that works for every kid, teen, young adult, and family who needs it. Through this mission, we are expanding access to insurance-based care, increasing engagement in treatment, and improving treatment outcomes. We are doing this by combining research-backed clinical care and innovative technology to eliminate the major problems with care today: difficulty finding providers, months of waiting to be seen, arduous onboarding processes, and inconsistent use of evidence-based therapies and outcomes tracking. Our vision is to become the nation's most trusted provider of pediatric anxiety and OCD care.
Team InStride Health: Our Core Values
- Give Heart: We lead with heart, treating patients and their families the way we want our loved ones to be treated.
- Work Smart: We find smarter ways to solve hard problems and fix the broken mental health system by leveraging technology, diversity of thought, and innovation.
- Have Humility: We leave our egos at the door, empowering our team to collaborate, celebrate diversity, and adopt a growth mindset.
- Embrace Community: We all belong. We are in this together, and we never worry alone. We believe in each other and recognize that every voice matters.
About the Role
We are looking for a virtual Pre-Licensed Therapist to join our team to deliver family-centric and evidence-based care to Children, Adolescents, & Young Adults. This is a fully remote position.
Responsibilities:
- Provide evidence-based individual and group clinical care to patients and families
- Use measurement-based care to inform treatment planning
- Lead and collaborate with other care team members (e.g., coach and psychiatrist)
- Provide feedback on program curricula and training protocols
- Provide feedback regarding the various applications of technology in treatment
- Maintain awareness of risk management issues
- Complete documentation in a timely and thorough manner
- Participate in initial and ongoing trainings on the application of evidence-based and tech-enhanced care delivery
- Facilitate skills or skills practice groups, as assigned. These CBT-based groups are for parents/caregivers and focus on skills development and implementation based on the InStride Health curriculum, integrating aspects of ACT and PMT.
What You Need to Succeed in the Role
- Provisional / Associate licensure with the following designation:
- Provisional / Associate Counseling License & Masters Degree from an accredited graduate program
- An active license in Pennsylvania
- Graduate-level clinical internship with therapy training required
- Background in working with children and adolescents, with anxiety and related disorders, or preferably both
- Experience and training in delivering evidence-based treatments (e.g., CBT, ACT, DBT) preferred
- Basic computer skills, facility with and openness to new technologies
- Excellent written and interpersonal communication skills
- Ability to be flexible and nimble, embrace change, and work well both independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced, mission driven environment
- Culturally responsive with regard to diversity and inclusion
- Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information in a manner that inspires confidence and trust
- Commitment to Progressing Toward Independent Licensure: this is a pre-licensed role intended for clinicians who are actively working toward full independent licensure. Once you have completed the supervised clinical experience and other state requirements needed to pursue final licensure, you will be expected to promptly complete all remaining steps and obtain independent licensure within six months for master's-level clinicians (LCSW/LPC or equivalent) or nine months for doctoral-level psychologists (Ph.D/Psy.D), absent documented circumstances outside your reasonable control.
The starting annual salary for this role is $70,000. This is a pre-licensed role designed to support clinicians in progressing toward independent licensure; compensation will increase upon obtaining full independent licensure in accordance with InStride's compensation practices.

- Opportunity to join a mission-driven company that is changing the landscape of pediatric mental health treatment
- Chance to make a far-reaching impact by helping children and families access desperately-needed, evidence-based care
- Opportunity to work with talented and experienced team members who have devoted their lives to solving this problem
- Fully virtual: work from the comfort of your home with periodic in-person retreats

Tips for Your Remote Child Therapist Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote child therapist openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your license, specialty, and schedule and apply directly before postings fill. Remote roles at telehealth companies close fast.
Prove your telehealth setup upfront
Remote child therapist employers want to know your home environment is HIPAA-compliant and distraction-free before an offer goes out. Mention your private space, your platform experience, and any telehealth-specific training in your application materials, not just at the interview.
Highlight async communication in your materials
Remote clinical teams rely on clear written handoffs, timely documentation, and direct messaging with families and care coordinators. Point to specific examples of your documentation habits, your charting speed, and how you keep parents informed between sessions.
Match your license to the employer's state footprint
Remote child therapist roles often serve clients across several states, and employers care a lot about which states you're licensed in. Check each posting's licensure requirements carefully and lead with your active licenses and any reciprocity or compact participation in your cover letter.
Remote Child Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote child therapist job?
Target companies that deliver therapy through telehealth platforms or distributed clinical teams, because those employers are built for remote work and hire child therapists on that model regularly. Remote employers screen hard for self-direction, clear written communication with families and care coordinators, and comfort with video-based sessions. Candidates who can demonstrate async documentation discipline and a quiet, HIPAA-compliant home setup move to the front of the line.
Which companies hire remote child therapists?
Remote child therapist roles are posted by InStride Health, Ellie Mental Health, and TimelyCare and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These tend to be telehealth companies, remote-first behavioral health groups, and distributed managed care organizations operating across multiple states.
Can you get a remote child therapist job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level child therapist roles are limited because working independently without in-person supervision is a real challenge early in your clinical career. Telehealth platforms that offer structured remote supervision and group practice models with built-in clinical support are your best entry points. Showing completed practicum hours via video, strong case documentation samples, and familiarity with telehealth platforms makes a concrete difference when experience is thin.
Do you need a degree for remote child therapist jobs?
Usually, yes. Most remote child therapist roles require at minimum a master's degree in counseling, social work, or a related clinical field, plus a state license to practice. Remote employers weigh your licensure level, your experience with evidence-based modalities like CBT or play therapy, and your ability to manage a caseload independently over a degree pedigree alone.
