What is a contract LCSW?

A Contract LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) job is a position where a licensed social worker provides mental health services, such as therapy, counseling, and case management, on a contractual basis rather than as a full-time employee. These professionals often work in private practice, healthcare settings, or social service agencies, offering flexible support to clients. Contract LCSWs typically manage their own schedules, handle billing, and may work with multiple organizations or clients.
