Lpc Candidate information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an LPC candidate, and why are they important?

To thrive as an LPC Candidate, you need a master’s degree in counseling or a related field, foundational knowledge in mental health assessment, and eligibility for state supervision. Familiarity with electronic health records, diagnostic tools like the DSM-5, and any required state licensing exams or documentation systems is essential. Outstanding interpersonal skills, empathy, and strong ethical judgment help build therapeutic relationships and support client progress. These competencies are crucial for providing effective counseling, meeting legal requirements, and developing into a successful licensed professional counselor.

What is the difference between Lpc Candidate vs Licensed Professional Counselor?

AspectLpc CandidateLicensed Professional Counselor
CredentialsRequires completing supervised hours and passing the examMust have completed all licensing requirements, including supervision and exam
Work EnvironmentInternships, supervised settings, entry-level rolesIndependent practice, full licensure, broader responsibilities
Industry UsageCommonly searched during licensing processUsed after full licensure is obtained

The main difference between an Lpc Candidate and a Licensed Professional Counselor is that the candidate is still completing licensing requirements, such as supervised hours, while the licensed counselor has fulfilled all requirements and can practice independently.

What is an LPC candidate?

An LPC Candidate is an individual who has completed the necessary educational requirements for licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) but is still accruing the supervised experience required for full licensure. During this time, LPC Candidates work under the supervision of a licensed counselor to gain practical experience in the field. This status allows them to provide counseling services while they complete their state's required hours of supervision and pass any necessary licensing exams.

What types of supervision and mentorship can an LPC candidate expect during their licensure process?

As an LPC Candidate, you will typically be required to work under the supervision of a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who provides regular guidance, feedback, and support. Supervision often involves weekly or bi-weekly meetings to discuss client cases, ethical considerations, and professional development. This structured mentorship helps you gain practical experience, navigate complex client situations, and build confidence in your counseling skills. The process also ensures you meet the required clinical hours and competencies for full licensure.

Job description

Benefits:
  • 401(k)
  • Flexible schedule
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off

This position is located at our East Paris Clinic
Who We Are Looking For:
  • A professional with comfort and experience working with children, adolescents, and adults (bonus points if you work with clients and families navigating the Autistic Spectrum, Eating Disorders, or Couples/Family Therapy).
  • Clinicians with prior private practice experience (clinicians bringing a partial caseload will be given priority)
  • Therapist that possesses a terminal licensure (LMSW, LPC, LLP, LP)
  • A provider able to practice with autonomy, but enjoys being within a framework of communication, support, and consultation
  • Someone both clients and colleagues enjoy spending time with (you're a therapist, people should like you).
  • An individual who identifies with our 6 core values of authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination.
  • A colleague who also identifies with our 7th "unofficial" value of sarcasm.

What We Are Offering For This Position:
  • Competitive compensation model "in between" private practice and agency work (Fee for Service, but with benefits)
  • Furnished office with all the tools needed to do your job (with a window even!)
  • Flexible schedule with few requirements, and a hybrid model of remote and in-person work
  • Professional liability insurance
  • Marketing support
  • Billing and credentialing services
  • Paid time off
  • Paid birthday leave
  • Holiday Pay (with full time caseload)
  • Health insurance (with full time caseload)

What You Will Be Doing (all the typical therapist things):
  • Evaluate mental health diagnosis, create, and implement a treatment plan, complete ongoing documentation including further diagnosis, treatment plan reviews, and case notes according to company policy in an outpatient setting
  • Provide excellent customer service for clients and collaborate with a dynamic team to further the mission of filling gaps in our community
  • Participate in marketing and outreach activities meant to serve the community and grow your referral base
  • Utilize creativity in interventions to help clients achieve and exceed goals
  • Prepare and submit individual documentation for each session per company guidelines and protocol
  • Achieve and maintain a caseload of 25 client visits per week
  • Coordinate services with case managers, families, work personnel, medical personnel, other Ellie staff, and school staff as needed
  • Opportunity for mentoring and supervisory positions as they arise
  • Other stuff we probably forgot to add but are just as meaningful and important to your role

What We Require:
  • Candidates are required to have a master's degree in one of the behavioral sciences or related fields from an accredited college or university.
  • Candidates must have be a LMSW, LPC, LLP, or LP at the time of hire (transitional licenses are not being considered for this position).
  • Experience with completing diagnostic assessments, treatment plans, and clinical case notes
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to demonstrate and model stable, appropriate boundaries with clients
  • Ability to complete and submit documentation of services and other paperwork in a timely manner
  • Comfort and familiarity working with a diverse client base
  • Proficient in the use of Office 365 and Electronic Health Record systems (Valant experience a plus!)

Flexible work from home options available.
Compensation: $70,000.00 - $90,000.00 per year
Seeking creative & collaborative humans with a passion for changing mental health care in fun and meaningful ways
Don't meet EVERY requirement?
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. Ellie Mental Health is devoted to purposefully building an inclusive and diverse workplace where all of our humans can be their authentic selves! (Authenticity is one of our core values, after all...) If you're excited about the chance to be a change-maker with us, but your past experience doesn't perfectly align with every single qualification of the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. Our mental health jobs need dedicated individuals from every background who are willing to care for others. And who knows, you might just be the perfect candidate for another role!
Employee Experience
We take care of our people. It's that simple. From investing in their financial future, to providing wages that shatter the ceiling in our industry to reasonable caseload expectations we ensure that our people are happy. Happy employees do better work and provide better client care! No matter what it is that you do in your mental health career at Ellie, our clients depend on us cultivating an environment where our employees can thrive so that they can thrive too!
Y'all, jobs in mental health are tough jobs with a high risk of emotional fatigue and burnout. At Ellie, we use all of our core values of humor, creativity, authenticity, acceptance, determination, and compassion not just out in our communities, but we turn them inwards too! Our employees have clear growth paths for advancing their careers.
We have created a culture that reminds us that our employees are our leaders!
Company Structure
Ellie is a socially responsible for-profit business, which allows us to be flexible and responsive to our community's needs. Many mental health and wellness-focused companies are non-profits or government agencies, which rely on the general public, grants, or large donors for funding. This model often results in little creativity and lower compensation for employees, promoting a work culture that just makes people feel "blah."
Feeling blah doesn't help employees stay motivated, engaged, or even in their jobs for a very long time! So we created a new model: one that puts flexibility, innovative decision-making, creativity, and our people first, while remaining a socially conscious and responsible for-profit business focused on changing how we treat mental health.
In short, we're just people helping people. Wanna join the herd?
