Remote Therapist - Virginia

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.   Talkiatry’s mission is to transform psychiatry with accessible, human, and responsible care. We’re a national mental health practice co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist to solve the problems both groups face in accessing and providing the highest quality treatment.   60% of adults in the U.S. with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated every year because care is inaccessible, while 45% of clinicians are out of network with insurers because reimbursement rates are low, and paperwork is unduly burdensome. With innovative technology and a human-centered philosophy, we provide patients with the care they need.   Talkiatry is seeking experienced licensed Therapists, including social workers, counselors, and marriage and family therapists (LCSWs, LMFTs, LMHCs, LPCs, LCPCs, LPCCs) to join our team of providers. 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 (Therapists with a CA license in hand are eligible for base salary of $90K+ monthly productivity incentive.)

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 

You will:

Collaborate with our dynamic team of Providers including psychiatrists and nurse practitioners to diagnose, manage and treat our patients, employing a wide variety of interventions and modalities.
