Join Cartwheel as a founding member of our West Virginia clinical team, bringing mental health care directly into rural schools across the state.
Cartwheel is the nation’s largest school-centered telehealth provider, partnering with school districts in 16 states to bring therapy, psychiatry, and family support to students who would otherwise wait months for care. We work alongside school staff and we keep parents informed and involved at every step of a student’s care. In West Virginia, that means:
- Getting students help earlier, before a problem becomes a crisis
- Keeping families engaged, consulted, and informed throughout care
- Strengthening the relationship between schools, clinicians, and the student’s parents/caregivers
Catching a student who is struggling early, before a problem becomes a crisis, is one of the most effective ways to support kids. As a Cartwheel clinician, you'll help make that possible for students across West Virginia.

- Build collaborative, trusted, and lasting relationships with school leadership, staff, students, and families. Meet and communicate regularly with school staff
WHO YOU ARE
Must have…
- Passion for working with schools on youth mental health and helping build a new care model for West Virginia
- Master’s Degree or higher from an accredited school of Social Work, Psychology, Counseling or Marriage, or Family and Child Counseling.

- Experience with CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused therapy, and/or motivational interviewing
- Experience delivering care via telehealth

- Excellent organization, communication, and collaboration skills
- Ability to offer hours during and especially after school (e.g., 3-8 pm Eastern Time)

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 Ellie Mental Health, LifeStance Health, and Cartwheel and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 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.
