Somewhere between a client's third cancelled session and their first real breakthrough, therapy stops being a job description and starts being the reason you got licensed in the first place. We're hiring a fully remote
Online Counselor — someone who can hold that space over video just as well as across a desk, because a growing number of clients simply won't walk into an office anymore.
The Basics
Annual salary sits at $160,000, the role is full-time and permanent, and it's open to candidates anywhere in the world who are licensed to practice telehealth in their own jurisdiction. There's no relocation, no office, no dress code beyond what's visible on camera.
Who Fits This
You'll need a master's degree in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, or something close to it, plus at least three years of therapy practice after getting licensed — LPC, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, or an equivalent credential, active and unrestricted. Teletherapy experience helps but isn't a dealbreaker if the rest of your background is solid. What matters more is whether you can build trust with someone through a screen, keep documentation honest and current, and make sound clinical calls without a supervisor down the hall.
Also worth having
- A second language, since it opens the door to clients who'd otherwise be underserved
- Comfort with EHR platforms and tools like Doxy.me, SimplePractice, or TheraNest
- An emerging niche — trauma, adolescent mental health, LGBTQ+ affirming care, mindfulness-based work — that gives your caseload some shape
None of this replaces the fundamentals: patience with clients who take months to open up, judgment calls made alone at 9pm on a Tuesday, and enough emotional steadiness that a hard session doesn't follow you into the next one.
What the Job Looks Like Week to Week
Most of your time goes to session work — individual and group therapy delivered through secure, HIPAA-compliant video, using whatever modality fits the client in front of you, whether that's CBT, DBT, or a more trauma-informed approach. New clients start with an intake: a psychosocial history, a risk screen if needed, and a treatment plan you'll revisit and adjust as things progress. You'll write up session notes promptly, coordinate with a psychiatrist or physician when a client's care needs to go beyond talk therapy, and refer out when someone needs a level of support this role can't provide.
A typical day might open with a peer huddle and a look at your schedule, run through back-to-back sessions by midday, leave room for a continuing-ed course or an optional group circle in the afternoon, and close with supervision or simply logging off. It's not glamorous. It's steady, and for the right person, that's the appeal.
Setup You'll Need on Your End
Reliable high-speed internet, a laptop or desktop with a working camera and mic, and a private room where a client's session stays private. That's the floor — no shared coworking spaces, no kitchen tables mid-conversation.
What Comes Back to You
Beyond salary, the role includes real paid time off (not the kind you're quietly discouraged from using), a wellness stipend, and support toward license renewal costs. Continuing education is funded, including access to international conferences, and there's an actual path forward — clinical supervision, training facilitation, or leadership roles for people who want to grow past a straight caseload.
Team and Culture, Honestly
The team spans the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia, and India, so "culture" here looks less like a mission statement and more like recurring peer consultation calls and informal check-ins where clinicians talk about their own load, not just their clients'. People who come across this listing through Naukri Mitra often ask what remote clinical work actually feels like day to day — the honest answer is that it's collaborative in smaller, quieter ways than an in-person office, but it's there.
Emotional intelligence matters here more than almost anywhere else, along with a genuine sensitivity to clients whose backgrounds and identities differ from your own. Strong documentation habits and independent judgment aren't optional extras — they're what make remote clinical work actually safe for the people you're treating.
To Apply
Send your application with proof of current, active licensure and a short note on who you like working with and how you tend to work. If you're outside the country where the role is based, just confirm you're cleared to deliver telehealth in your own jurisdiction — that's the one hard requirement location can't get around.
