What is a remote eating disorder therapist?

A Remote Eating Disorder Therapist is a licensed mental health professional who provides therapy and support to individuals struggling with eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder, through virtual platforms like video calls or phone sessions. They use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients understand and manage their eating behaviors and emotional challenges. Remote therapists offer flexibility and increased accessibility, making it easier for clients to receive care from the comfort of their own homes. This role requires specialized training in eating disorders and a strong understanding of the complexities involved in these conditions.

What are some unique challenges of providing therapy for eating disorders in a remote setting?

Remote Eating Disorder Therapists often navigate challenges such as building rapport through video sessions, ensuring client privacy, and accurately assessing physical health without in-person observation. Therapists must be proactive about safety planning and may need to coordinate closely with clients’ local healthcare providers. Staying connected with multidisciplinary teams virtually and using secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms are important for effective collaboration and client care.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote eating disorder therapist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Eating Disorder Therapist, you need a clinical background in psychology or counseling, relevant licensure (such as LCSW, LMFT, LPC, or psychologist), and specialized training in eating disorder treatment. Familiarity with telehealth platforms, HIPAA-compliant communication tools, and evidence-based therapeutic modalities like CBT or DBT is essential. Strong empathy, active listening, and cultural sensitivity are vital soft skills for building trust and rapport with clients remotely. These competencies are crucial for delivering effective, ethical, and compassionate care to clients navigating complex eating disorder challenges in a virtual environment.

Job Opportunity: Psychiatrist for Virtual Eating Disorder Treatment Program

Equip is the leading virtual, evidence-based eating disorder treatment program on a mission to ensure that everyone with an eating disorder can access treatment that works. Created by clinical experts in the field and people with lived experience, Equip builds upon evidence-based treatments to empower individuals to reach lasting recovery. All Equip patients receive a dedicated care team, including a therapist, dietitian, physician, and peer and family mentor. The company operates in all 50 states and is partnered with most major health insurance plans.

Equip is seeking a board-certified or board-eligible MD/DO in General and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to join its rapidly growing clinical care team caring for patients ages 6-99 years with eating disorders in a 100% virtual Telehealth platform.

Physicians are essential members of Equip's multidisciplinary virtual treatment team, working alongside therapists, dietitians, peer coaches, and family coaches to help children, adolescents, and adults recover from eating disorders. This is a remote, full time, salaried position with flexible hours and priority for afternoon and early evening hours in your time zone.

A central and unique aspect of this role is executing collaborative practice agreements with APPs across both psychiatric and general medical backgrounds. While Equip has dedicated general medical physicians and APPs to support physical health, the supervising psychiatrist must possess a solid foundation of medical knowledge and feel highly confident in medical stability monitoring within a virtual high-acuity eating disorder ecosystem.

Responsibilities

  • Communicate via electronic medical record messaging to support patients and supports, and to communicate with the treatment team.
  • Communicate and collaborate effectively with internal team members and external, outside healthcare providers to facilitate seamless care coordination and closed loop handoffs.
  • Document effectively and in a timely manner within Equip electronic medical record in accordance with Equip's policies and procedures.
  • Participate in Treatment Team meetings, supervision, continuing education and department meetings.
  • Perform routine chart audits and subsequent clinical and performance coaching in accordance with compliance metrics.
Qualifications & Requirements
  • Education: MD or DO degree from an accredited institution.
  • Board Certification: Board-certified or board-eligible in Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

  • 3+ years of clinical practice with demonstrated success in supervising, mentoring, and providing clinical oversight to advanced practice providers (NPs/PAs).
  • Proven experience or strong baseline competence in eating disorder medical management, including evaluating refeeding risks, monitoring psychiatric/medical stability variables, and managing high-risk psychotropic medications.
  • Exceptional communication skills with a track history of collaboration with diverse teams and external providers.
  • Ability to adapt quickly to a fast-paced startup and changing clinical and organizational priorities demonstrating strong problem-solving and decision making skills.
  • Deep clinical maturity to navigate complex cases while maintaining therapeutic relationships and providing compassionate, patient-centered care.
  • Working Hours are in EST, but can be located in any time zone in USA.
Time Expectations
  • Direct Patient Care: Up to 50% of your time is in direct patient care.
  • Administrative Time: Approximately 50% of your time is administrative.
