Build Your Specialty With a Team That Invests in You
Whether you are fully licensed and looking for a practice that takes your clinical work seriously, or you are a Resident in Counseling, Supervisee in Social Work, or Resident in Marriage and Family Therapy working toward licensure, Mindful Innovations is looking for you.
Mindful Innovations is a specialty-focused, fully remote mental health practice dedicated to ethical, evidence-based care. We are building a team of confident, skilled, specialized therapists investing in your growth, your specialty, and your clinical identity, at whatever stage of your career you are in.
We are currently seeking both licensed and pre-licensed clinicians who are passionate about trauma, emotional regulation, and/or personality or mood disorders, and who want meaningful client work inside a practice that supports depth over volume.
What We Offer You
- Full-time, W-2 employee role with stable income, not per-session pay
- Development of a schedule that meets your needs and has a fully remote structure
- Training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with options for certification
- Weekly clinical supervision that meets Virginia licensure requirements, for clinicians working toward licensure
- Ongoing, consistent clinical consultation, peer consult, and advanced training pathways for licensed clinicians
- Opportunity to develop and hold a specialty caseload
- Leadership and mentorship from experienced therapists who remember what it is like to be earlier in this work
- Supportive team culture built on growth, collaboration, and integrity
- Building a caseload that fits you and your preferred populations
Why Mindful Innovations
Stable W-2 Employment
Full-time position with stable income, benefits support, and a predictable caseload. No billing to manage and no chasing payments to cover your salary. You pick a caseload range which fits you.
Trauma-Informed, Not Productivity-Obsessed
Our supervisors and senior clinicians actually know trauma work and hold fidelity to the model. We prioritize depth over volume and support long-term, meaningful client care. You will choose a caseload size that fits you and will develop a caseload based upon therapeutic modalities and populations you desire to work with.
Support That Feels Like a Team, Not a Checkbox
Weekly supervision or consultation to support you where you are in your career with options for peer consults, warm, supportive leadership, and training that will assist you in your career.
Specialty Training
Options to learn Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and targeted clinical skills. Training through certified providers and supportive leaders who will continue to teach you new skills to grow.
Work-Life Balance That Holds Up
Balanced scheduling inside a structured, mission-aligned team that cares about you as much as it cares about your clients.
In This Role, You Will
- Provide individual therapy to a consistent caseload (average 18 to 25 clients per week once established)
- Conduct intakes, write treatment plans, and document progress
- Options for training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or other evidence-based modalities which you are passionate about
- Participate in consistent, meaningful weekly clinical supervision and weekly trainings
- Support clients working through trauma, emotional dysregulation, mood and/or personality presentations
- Be part of a team that puts people first
You Are a Great Fit If You
- Hold Virginia licensure as an LPC, LCSW, or LMFT, or hold Virginia Resident in Counseling, Supervisee in Social Work, or Resident in Marriage and Family Therapy status
- Are drawn to trauma-informed, skill-based, or personality-focused treatment
- Want to deepen into a specialty rather than carry a general caseload indefinitely
- Are seeking a collaborative team with strong leadership and meaningful mentorship
- Want to build a career, not just fill a seat or complete a residency
- Have 2-3 years of clinical experience, with an interest in evidence based treatment.
- Passionate about learning and want to continue to grow in ways to support clients
Where This Goes
We hire clinicians who align with our mission and we build roles around them. For pre-licensed clinicians, that means supervision toward licensure and a foundation to grow from. For licensed clinicians, that means advanced training, options for group facilitation and program development opportunities as the practice expands.

Start where your growth matters as much as your clients' growth. Let's build the next stage of your work in mental health together.

Tips for Your Remote Mental Health Counseling Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote mental health counseling openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your licensure and specialty and apply directly without sorting through unrelated listings.
Showcase your telehealth platform proficiency
List the specific video therapy and EHR platforms you've used, such as SimplePractice, Zoom for Healthcare, or Valant, in your resume. Remote employers treat platform fluency as a baseline requirement, not a bonus, for fully virtual caseloads.
Document your independent caseload management
Remote hiring managers want evidence you can manage clients, notes, and scheduling without in-person oversight. Quantify your average caseload size, session completion rates, and any telehealth-specific outcomes you've achieved in past roles or internships.
Prepare for async-heavy remote interviews
Many remote behavioral health employers screen candidates through written clinical scenario responses or asynchronous video interviews before live rounds. Practice writing clear, structured clinical reasoning in plain language, since written communication is how you'll coordinate with supervisors and colleagues every day.
Remote Mental Health Counseling Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote mental health counseling job?
Target employers that run fully remote or hybrid telehealth operations, such as virtual behavioral health platforms, EAP providers, and distributed managed care organizations, because these teams are built for remote delivery from the start. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, clear async written communication, and comfort with video-based therapy platforms like SimplePractice or Telehealth by SimplePractice. Candidates who can demonstrate autonomous caseload management and consistent client outcomes stand out most.
Which companies hire remote mental health counselings?
Remote mental health counseling roles are posted by Keiser University, Mindful Innovations, and National University and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These include remote-first telehealth platforms, national EAP providers, and distributed behavioral health networks operating across multiple states.
Can you get a remote mental health counseling job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to manage a caseload independently from day one without in-person supervision. Telehealth platforms that hire pre-licensed associates under a supervising clinician offer a realistic entry point. Showing documented internship hours, proficiency with video therapy platforms, and strong written communication in your application can substitute for full licensure or paid experience.
Do you need a degree for remote mental health counseling jobs?
Usually, yes, because most remote mental health counseling roles require at minimum a master's degree in counseling, social work, or a related clinical field, along with state licensure. That said, remote employers also weigh documented supervised hours, demonstrated comfort with teletherapy platforms, and a clean record of independent client management when evaluating candidates who are still working toward full licensure.
Which industries hire the most remote mental health counselings?
Remote mental health counseling roles concentrate in Education, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire remotely because their distributed workforces and national client bases make fully virtual counseling delivery both practical and scalable.
