What is a remote therapist?

A remote therapist is a licensed mental health professional who provides therapy sessions to clients via online platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or messaging. This allows clients to receive counseling and support from the comfort of their own homes, increasing accessibility, especially for those with busy schedules or limited local resources. Remote therapists can help with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and stress management. Confidentiality and professionalism are maintained, similar to in-person therapy sessions.

What does a remote therapist do?

As a remote therapist, your job is to provide each client with the treatment, therapy, and services they need. E-therapy uses multiple parts of the internet—including, at times, web-based software—to evaluate the mental health of patients and talk with them during each session. Remote therapists usually specialize in a single type of care, such as speech-language pathology, and may further specialize by client type. For example, many remote therapists work with schools, prisons, or hospitals to provide services to clients. While most remote therapists work from home, some work from a central office instead. In this context, "remote" means "little or no face-to-face interaction with clients." Some therapists offer both face-to-face and remote services, but those are usually advertised under the regular therapist title.

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

To thrive as a Remote Therapist, you need a relevant mental health degree, state licensure, and experience in clinical counseling or therapy. Familiarity with telehealth platforms, secure messaging tools, and digital record-keeping systems is typically required. Strong active listening, empathy, and clear communication skills help build trust and rapport with clients remotely. These skills and qualifications are vital for delivering effective, ethical, and accessible mental health care in a virtual environment.

How do remote therapists maintain effective client engagement and rapport compared to in-person sessions?

Remote therapists often use video conferencing platforms to conduct sessions, which can initially present challenges in building rapport and reading nonverbal cues. To overcome this, therapists focus on clear communication, active listening, and adapting their approach to each client’s comfort with technology. Many therapists find that clients appreciate the convenience and privacy of remote sessions, leading to strong therapeutic relationships. Regular check-ins about the virtual format and creating a distraction-free environment also help foster engagement and trust.

What is the difference between Remote Therapist vs Remote Counselor?

AspectRemote TherapistRemote Counselor
CredentialsLicensed mental health professional (e.g., LCSW, LMFT, LPC)Licensed or certified mental health or guidance professional
Work EnvironmentPrivate practice, clinics, telehealth platformsSchools, clinics, telehealth services
Industry UsageHealthcare, mental health servicesEducational, community, mental health services
Common Search/ComparisonRemote TherapistRemote Counselor

Remote Therapists and Remote Counselors both provide mental health support via telehealth, often requiring similar credentials and working in comparable environments. The main difference lies in terminology and specific job roles; therapists may offer a broader range of therapeutic techniques, while counselors often focus on guidance and support. Both roles are vital in delivering accessible mental health care remotely.

Job description

Talkiatry is a virtual mental health practice built by clinicians, for clinicians. Our care model, workflows, and infrastructure are intentionally designed to support high-quality outpatient care and expand access to patients with the care they need.
This role is designed for independently licensed therapists who want:
  • Predictable, W-2 compensation and full benefits
  • Flexible scheduling within a structured outpatient model
  • Minimal administrative burden in a fully remote environment
  • Clear expectations around caseload, documentation, and pace
  • Our outpatient therapy model is intentionally built for virtual care, not retrofitted from inpatient or hospital systems, allowing you to deliver thoughtful and structured care.

What your day-to-day practice looks like:
  • 100% remote, outpatient therapy
  • Lower to moderate acuity populations (ex. anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, mood disorders, OCD, others)
  • Standard session lengths (60-minute intakes and follow-ups)
  • Consistent outpatient caseload with defined, transparent goals
  • No inpatient, IOP/PHP, or crisis-call responsibilities
  • In-house referral network to/from psychiatrists
  • Full operational support including scheduling, billing, intake coordination, credentialing, and licensing

Clinical autonomy & flexibility:
  • Independent treatment decision-making
  • Input into schedule and weekly availability within operational guidelines
  • Clinical approach within evidence-based standards
  • Care expectations are shaped by practicing clinicians, reinforcing professional judgment, and shared accountability for quality.
  • You practice independently, with accessible clinical leadership available for consultation and support. Our role is to remove administrative work so you can focus on patient care. This model works best for clinicians who value delivering high-quality, evidence-based care to patients.

What we're looking for:
  • Independently licensed therapists (LCSW, LMFT, LPC, LMHC or equivalent)
  • Active, unrestricted license (multi-state licensing support available)
  • Two or more independent and active state licenses (except for CA, NY and MA)
  • Comfort managing a consistent outpatient caseload
  • Strong clinical judgment, communication skills, and independent decision-making
  • Comfort practicing in a fast-paced but sustainable outpatient environment
  • (Highly desired) Experience from outpatient, community mental health, hospital, IOP, or other structured clinical settings
  • (Highly desired) Experience with structured, skills-based modalities (ex. CBT, ACT, MI, DBT-informed care)
  • Please note, this role is not designed for clinicians seeking supervision toward licensure or those looking to build a fully self-directed 1099/Private Practice. You will be a part of our team!

Compensation, Benefits & Stability:
  • Full-time and part-time W-2 employment
  • $70k with the ability to earn up to $20k in incentives
  • Tenure-based increases after 2 years
  • Employer-paid health, dental, vision insurance (up to 100% of premiums)
  • 401(k) match with employer match
  • Paid time off (PTO), paid sick time and 11 paid holidays
  • Paid parental leave and long-term retention benefits (ex. 4-week paid sabbatical after 5 years)
  • Malpractice coverage (occurrence-based, 100% employer-paid)
  • CME reimbursement and dedicated CME days
  • Licensing support with upfront coverage of costs
  • Technology package provided

Our history
Talkiatry was founded in 2020 by Dr. Georgia Gaveras, a triple board-certified psychiatrist in adult, child and adolescent psychiatry, and Robert Krayn, a patient who experienced firsthand the challenges of accessing care. Together, they set out to reimagine outpatient psychiatry by building a model that supports both patients and clinicians, while expanding access to mental healthcare.
Our culture
Our clinical community includes 700+ psychiatrists and PMHNPs and 300+ therapists practicing across 32 languages.

About Talkiatry, in their own words

From Talkiatry

We believe great psychiatric care starts with supporting the people who provide it. Too often, psychiatrists are forced to choose between autonomy and stability, meaningful patient care and administrative burden, professional fulfillment and work-life balance.

Founded by a psychiatrist, Talkiatry was designed to be different. Our virtual care model combines clinical autonomy with the support, structure, and resources needed to build a sustainable career. Through dedicated administrative support, thoughtful technology, and a collaborative clinical community, we help psychiatrists spend less time navigating healthcare systems and more time focused on patient care.

Today, Talkiatry serves patients across the country while supporting a growing network of psychiatrists committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based mental healthcare.
