This is a full-time remote position with a focus on delivering high-quality psychotherapy and support to individuals facing significant life changes. If you are a compassionate, skilled social worker with a desire to make a positive impact on the mental well-being of patients, we invite you to apply.

Chat and Change Mental Health is a forward-thinking mental health organization located in Tampa, Florida. We specialize in offering comprehensive mental health services to individuals experiencing various psychological challenges. Our team is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment that encourages healing and personal growth. We prioritize the mental health needs of our patients and are respected for our commitment to quality care and community support.

This role is primarily remote, allowing for a flexible work-life balance. As a social worker in a hospice center, you will engage with patients and families through virtual channels, ensuring ongoing support for emotional and psychological needs. Though remote, our collaborative team atmosphere enables you to connect with fellow healthcare professionals while using telehealth technologies and electronic health records (EHR) to facilitate patient interactions and maintain accurate records.

• Provide psychotherapy and mental health services via telehealth platforms to patients facing various mental health conditions.
• Evaluate patients' mental health through comprehensive assessments, focusing on their emotional, behavioral, and social functioning.
• Develop individualized treatment plans that employ evidence-based practices and consider cultural factors influencing patient care.
• Work collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams, including psychiatrists and primary care providers, to enhance patient support and ensure comprehensive care.
• Regularly monitor and document patient progress, adjusting treatment strategies based on responses and collaborating health professionals' insights.
• Educate patients and their families about mental health conditions, treatment options, and available community resources.
• Adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring confidentiality and obtaining informed consent in all interactions.

The ideal candidate will work with a diverse range of patients, including those experiencing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and end-of-life issues. Our patient population often includes individuals facing complex emotional challenges related to chronic illness, grief, and transitions in care. This role plays an essential part in helping patients navigate their mental health struggles during a critical time in their lives, contributing to improved emotional resilience and overall well-being.

• A Master’s degree in Social Work from an accredited institution.
• Current state licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) is mandatory.
• A minimum of two years of clinical experience providing psychotherapy and related mental health services in a professional setting.
• Demonstrated capability in building effective relationships with patients and collaborating with other healthcare providers.
• Strong clinical skills to conduct assessments and develop tailored treatment plans.
• Proficient in utilizing electronic health records and telehealth platforms to manage patient care effectively.
• In-depth knowledge of mental health disorders and therapeutic interventions, along with an understanding of the complexities faced by patients in hospice care.
• Commitment to ethical practice and maintaining patient confidentiality.

While the minimum requirement is two years, additional experience in hospice or palliative care settings is highly desirable. Familiarity with interdisciplinary teamwork in mental health contexts and a track record of successful patient interventions can significantly enhance your candidacy.

The annual salary for this LCSW position ranges from $90,000 to $105,000, reflective of your experience and qualifications. In addition to competitive pay, we offer a robust benefits package that includes:

• Comprehensive health insurance (Medical, Dental, and Vision).
