About This Role
As a virtual mental health therapist with Headway, you'll conduct teletherapy sessions with clients from your own space, setting your own schedule and caseload. You'll earn $120-$131 per hour while working with an established client base through Headway's platform, which handles insurance billing and administrative work for you. This role suits licensed therapists (LMHC, LPCMH, LIMHP, LMFT, or equivalent Master's level licensure) who want to grow their practice without the typical startup burden. You'll manage your own client relationships and treatment plans while the platform handles insurance verification and payments. If you're looking to build a sustainable private practice with steady income and administrative support already in place, this role offers flexibility and competitive pay with no long-term commitment required.

What license do I need to apply?

Is this a school-year or year-round position?
School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.
What experience is expected?
Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
