Licensed Mental Health Therapist - Arizona

Remote Clinical Practice - Arizona

Licensed Mental Health Therapist — Part-Time
Remote · Arizona License Required

We're expanding into Arizona. We're looking for therapists who want to get in early and help shape what we build.

Backpack Healthcare provides mental health care for children, teens, and young adults — all online, covered by most insurance. We're clinician-led and minority-owned, and Arizona is one of our newest markets. That means the clinicians who join now aren't just filling roles — they're helping us establish care in communities that need it.

If you're looking for flexible part-time work with a team that's serious about outcomes and serious about clinician support — this is worth your time.

What this role looks like

You'll carry a caseload of 15–22 sessions per week, providing individual and family therapy via telehealth. Most of our clinicians work weekday afternoons and evenings (2–9 PM), with weekend availability a plus. You build the schedule. We handle the referrals and admin.

Day-to-day you'll:

  • Conduct assessments and build client-centered, trauma-informed treatment plans
  • Collaborate with our interdisciplinary team — therapists, PMHNPs, and psychiatrists working together
  • Maintain timely documentation in our EHR
  • Support families with education and care coordination, not just the child in the room

What we offer

  • $55/billable hour — LCSW, LPC, or LMFT (independently licensed)
  • 401(k) with 3% company match
  • $150 annual CEU reimbursement
  • Free supervision for eligible licenses
  • $25,000 company-paid life insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Pathways into clinical leadership as the Arizona program grows

What we're looking for

  • Active Arizona license: LPC, LMFT or LCSW
  • Experience with children, teens, and families (or a strong interest in this population)
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote setting
  • Bilingual English/Spanish — strongly preferred
  • Committed to trauma-informed, culturally responsive practice

Who we are

We've served 12,000+ kids and families since 2020. 78% of families report their child is doing better after three months. Arizona is new territory for us, and we're building it intentionally — with clinicians who want to grow into supervision and leadership as we scale.

When clinicians thrive, kids thrive. That's not a tagline. It's how we build.

Backpack Healthcare is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity in age, background, identity, and experience — and we mean it.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
