Remote Licensed Mental Health Therapist (1099 Contractor)

About Abide Integrative Counseling Services

At Abide Integrative Counseling Services, we believe therapy is more than symptom management. We provide thoughtful, individualized care that helps clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, develop healthier patterns, and move toward meaningful change.

As a Christian-owned private practice, our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care while honoring each client's unique values, beliefs, and lived experiences. Christian faith-integrated counseling is available when requested by clients, while we welcome individuals and families from all backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs.

As our practice continues to grow, we are seeking a compassionate and clinically grounded Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to join our virtual practice and provide psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

This is a part-time/full-time position requiring a minimum of 15 hours and a maximum of 30 hours per week.

Clinicians choose their own working days and hours based on their availability and caseload needs. While the schedule is flexible, clinicians are expected to maintain a consistent schedule, demonstrate strong time management, and responsibly manage their clinical and administrative responsibilities.

This is an opportunity for a clinician who values flexibility, autonomy, meaningful clinical work, and a collaborative practice environment.
