A manager reaches out because half her team is quietly burning out. An employee messages you at 9 pm because they can't switch their brain off after work. You're the person both of them end up talking to. That's this job, in two sentences.
The Role, Plainly
We're hiring a Remote Mental Health Consultant to provide direct counseling support and advise organizations on how they handle employee well-being. It's a hybrid of clinical work and organizational consulting — you're in individual sessions one hour, then reviewing a company's wellness policy the next. The salary for this position is $85,241 per year, and it's fully remote. You don't need to be everywhere at once. You need solid clinical judgment, a license to back it up, and the patience to build trust with people over video calls rather than in person.What Fills Your Week
The job breaks down roughly like this:- Individual virtual counseling sessions with employees dealing with stress, anxiety, or burnout
- Advising HR teams on wellness program design and where their current approach is falling short
- Running workshops on stress management and resilience for teams that request them
- Building crisis-response protocols, and being the point of contact when one gets activated
- Administering psychological assessments where they're clinically appropriate
- Keeping session documentation accurate and confidential inside our telehealth system
- Working with leadership to make mental health a normal topic instead of a taboo one
What You Need Coming In
- Master's degree in psychology, counseling, social work, or a related field
- Minimum 3 years of professional experience in counseling, therapy, or behavioral health
- An active license — LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or an equivalent credential recognized in your jurisdiction
- Working familiarity with CBT and mindfulness-based interventions
- Ability to run a full caseload through video and phone rather than in-person sessions
- Clear written communication — you'll be writing case notes and, occasionally, program recommendations for non-clinical leadership
Also Good to Have
- Experience building or restructuring corporate wellness programs
- Comfort with psychological assessment tools used outside a clinical setting
- Background in trauma-informed care or crisis intervention
- Some history training or coaching managers who aren't clinicians
- A certification in mindfulness-based stress reduction, if you have one
What Makes This Different From a Typical Counseling Job
Most of the impact here shows up slowly. A team that starts taking fewer sick days after a stretch of stress-management sessions. An employee who was ready to quit six months ago and is now leading a project. You won't always see the payoff directly — sometimes a manager just tells you the numbers changed. Roles like this are frequently posted on Naukri Mitra because companies specifically want someone who can hold both the individual and organizational side of the work, and that combination isn't easy to find.Pay and Benefits
On top of the $85,241 base salary, you'll get:- A flexible schedule — set your own hours around client availability
- Full health coverage, mental health included
- Paid time off, plus separate mental health days
- Clinical supervision and continuing education support, covered
- Performance bonuses
- No commute, obviously
Working Remotely Without Working Alone
Remote clinical work can get isolating fast, especially on hard weeks. We handle that with weekly team huddles and peer consultation groups where you can talk through difficult cases with other clinicians. If something comes up outside your scope, there's a broader network to lean on — you're not expected to sit with a tough case by yourself until your next scheduled check-in.Signs You're Doing Well Here
- Clients keep coming back to your sessions specifically, not just because it's scheduled
- Teams start using the stress techniques you taught them without being reminded
- HR starts asking your opinion before finalizing wellness decisions, not after
