  • Follow New York regulations, professional ethics, and confidentiality requirements

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling or a qualifying related field
  • Active New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) license
  • Previous experience providing psychotherapy or behavioral health counseling
  • Working knowledge of common mental health conditions and counseling approaches
  • Ability to independently organize a full-time caseload
  • Clear written communication and accurate recordkeeping skills
  • Reliable internet connection and ability to work effectively in a virtual care environment
