Gulf Bend Mental Healthcare Pte. Ltd. is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Mental Health Counselor to join our innovative team in a remote capacity. In this full-time role, you will have the flexibility to manage your own schedule while making a significant impact on the lives of clients seeking mental health support. With a competitive annual salary ranging from $90,000 to $104,000, plus a sign-on bonus, this position is an excellent opportunity for licensed professionals to advance their careers.

Gulf Bend Mental Healthcare is devoted to improving accessible mental health care. Our community health clinic operates virtually, connecting mental health professionals with clients in need. We pride ourselves on building a diverse team of therapists equipped with various specializations to cater to individuals from all walks of life. With a commitment to ethical practices and high-quality care, we ensure that our providers can focus on what they do best: providing therapy and support.

This position is entirely remote, allowing you to work from the comfort of your home while interacting with clients through a dedicated teletherapy platform. The flexibility of a telecommuting role permits you to create a schedule that works for you—whether you prefer to start your day early or work into the evening. You will engage with clients through video chat sessions with all necessary technology provided and supported by our organization.

• Conduct individual counseling sessions via video chat, utilizing therapeutic techniques to improve client mental health.
• Facilitate conversations that encourage clients to explore their emotions, thoughts, and life experiences, fostering self-awareness and personal growth.
• Serve as an advocate for clients by assisting them in identifying and setting achievable life and treatment goals.
• Evaluate client mental health status and develop tailored treatment plans that implement solution-based approaches grounded in clinical knowledge and best practices.

In this role, you will work primarily with clients who meet our pre-screening criteria, ensuring they are stable and presenting with low acuity challenges. This allows for a therapeutic environment that is safe and conducive to growth. You will have the distinct opportunity to work with a diverse range of individuals, each with unique backgrounds, experiences, and needs. By matching you with appropriate clients based on your specialties and preferences, we ensure a rewarding professional experience.

• A master’s degree in Social Work, Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, or Mental Health Counseling.
• Possession of an independent state-issued mental health license, including Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), or Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Provisional licenses are not accepted.
• Demonstrated ability to make professional evaluations and develop treatment recommendations.
• Exceptional interpersonal skills and a compassionate approach to client care.
• Strong proficiency in using computer systems and teletherapy platforms.

While we welcome all applications from qualified candidates, preferred experience includes clinical work with a variety of mental health issues, knowledge of teletherapy practices, and familiarity with demographic considerations that enhance treatment methodologies. Experience in a community health or remote setting is advantageous.

Your dedication will be rewarded with a competitive compensation package, with a yearly salary ranging from $90,000 to $104,000, depending on the hours worked. Additional benefits include:

• A sign-on bonus to support your journey with us.
• Weekly direct deposit for your earnings.
• A monthly healthcare stipend provided for full-time counselors to assist with health-related expenses.
• Minimal administrative tasks, as we handle paperwork and billing to allow you to focus entirely on client care.
• Access to unlimited client referrals tailored to your specialties and preferences.

At Gulf Bend Mental Healthcare, we are committed to your professional development. We provide a therapist portal equipped with online resources specifically tailored to support specialized practices in your licensed state. With opportunities for mentorship and collaboration with a diverse group of professionals, you will have the chance to expand your skills and knowledge in the mental health field.
