What is an LPC private practice?

An LPC private practice refers to a business or office where a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) provides mental health counseling services independently or with other therapists. In this setting, LPCs manage their own clients, set their schedules, and handle administrative tasks such as billing and marketing. Private practice offers counselors autonomy in their work, flexibility in choosing clients, and the ability to specialize in certain areas of mental health. However, it also requires managing the business side of therapy, including legal and ethical responsibilities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an LPC in private practice?

To thrive as an LPC in private practice, you need a master's degree in counseling or a related field, state licensure, and strong clinical assessment and therapeutic skills. Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) systems, billing software, and telehealth platforms is typically required. Excellent interpersonal skills, empathy, and the ability to build rapport with diverse clients are crucial soft skills. These competencies ensure effective client care, ethical practice management, and sustainable client relationships in a competitive private practice environment.

What are some common challenges LPCs face when starting their own private practice?

Launching a private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) often involves navigating business operations, such as securing office space, managing billing and insurance claims, and marketing your services to attract clients. Many LPCs find balancing clinical work with administrative duties to be a significant adjustment. Building a reliable referral network and maintaining compliance with legal and ethical standards are also key challenges. However, these hurdles can be overcome with careful planning, mentorship, and continued professional development.

Job description

Teletherapist (child, family, adult):

Full-time, Part-Time (minimum of 7 sessions per week)

Are you ready to make a career move that is exciting, challenging, and rewarding? Are you interested in joining a progressive company that provides teletherapy throughout Virginia and beyond? Well, we have that opportunity if you are licensed in the state of Virginia as an LCSW, LPC, or LCP! **Those with clinical licenses in multiple states are encouraged to apply.**

If you are considering, or have tried, to have your own private practice, MySpectrum will continue to provide you with all the perks without the headaches. With our Teletherapist position, you can work from home with a steady stream of clients and steady income. You focus on your clinical work while we handle the rest! 

MySpectrum offers outpatient counseling and coaching to children and adults, focusing on the Autism Spectrum, Substance Abuse Spectrum, Mental Health Spectrum, and Whole Life Spectrum. We work with every person, on every spectrum and are seeking skilled Therapists throughout the state of Virginia who are interested in providing teletherapy to our clients. If you don't specialize in any one area, but find yourself to be an out-of-the-box thinker and relationship-driven Therapist who can engage clients virtually, this may be the fit you are looking for. We are seeking a diverse group of Therapists who enjoy their work, like to have fun, and are passionate about offering the most creative and innovative ways to treat clients. We want to serve clients who haven't otherwise been able to find the right fit for therapy, who don't fit the mold of other practices who have more narrow focuses, who may have barriers to getting to an office for therapy, and most of all, want to reduce the stigma associated with receiving therapy. If you have a special niche, and are wanting to find a place where you can build an established client base from your own home or office, we look forward to hearing from you. **Instead of worrying about building your own private practice, we will do that for you.** In addition to having remote locations through teletherapy, we have a home office in North Chesterfield, VA, where you can visit and obtain in-person support.

Some of the aspects of being in private practice that we will take care of for you at MySpectrum include:

  • Credentialing with insurance carriers
  • Billing (you get paid on a bi-weekly basis regardless of if we do)
  • A teletherapy platform that integrates with an electronic health record
  • Marketing
  • Scheduling

Job Summary:

The Teletherapist will provide therapy through a HIPAA compliant teletherapy platform in standard 45-60 minute sessions. The average caseload for full-time Therapists will be approximately 30 client sessions per week. We recognize that it may take time to build a solid caseload and are willing to work with you on a part-time basis until you become full-time, if that is your desire. We also hire part-time Teletherapists who have availability to offer at least 7 sessions per week.

Responsibilities and Duties:

  • Provide therapy virtually in standard 45-60 minute blocks
  • Complete Assessments
  • Complete Treatment Plans
  • Complete Progress Notes
  • Provide input about the best strategies, techniques, and services to offer to help as many people as possible
  • Be an integral part of MySpectrum!

Qualifications & Skills:

  • Must be licensed as an LCSW, LPC, or LCP in the state of Virginia, and eligible for credentialing with major insurance panels; those with clinical licenses in multiples states, in addition to Virginia, are encouraged to apply.
  • Experience working with diverse populations
  • Desire to be a part of a growing company by offering input, thoughts, and considerations for how to best meet the needs of our clients. We all are a team and each person's input is valued; we expect those who join us to be willing to contribute to our overall growth!
  • Flexibility to commit to joining us now, and the drive to stick with us so that your caseload can grow
  • **Must have high-speed internet access
  • **Must have HIPAA protected space to use on a consistent basis for sessions
  • **Must be comfortable working remotely and seeing clients via telehealth

Benefits and Perks:

  • You can create your own hours
  • Work from home or from your own office
  • You can live anywhere in the state of Virginia
  • Competitive compensation based on a 60/40 split (bi-weekly pay based on sessions conducted, not on what we have collected from insurance; you receive 60% of what we bill insurance regardless of if we get paid)
  • Health insurance available if you average 30 or more billable sessions per week: medical, dental, vision (with employer and employee contribution); optional life, cancer, and critical illness insurance
  • Retirement planning with up to 3% company match
  • Casual environment that promotes fun and creativity
  • A therapy practice where you don't have to worry about the business aspects! Just be a Therapist!
