🌙 Licensed Mental Health Therapist — Maryland

Peak Hours | Evenings & Weekends | Fully Remote

📍 Maryland License Required | 🕒 Part-Time | 💰 Monthly Bonus Potential

🎒 Make an Impact When Families Need You Most

The hours families need care most are often the hours traditional providers aren't available. That's where you come in.

Backpack Healthcare provides accessible behavioral healthcare to children, teens, young adults, and their families — 100% online and covered by most insurance.

We're a clinician-led, minority-owned organization that believes great outcomes start with supporting great clinicians.

We're looking for Maryland-licensed therapists who are energized by evening and weekend work and want to make a meaningful impact during these high-demand peak care hours.

If you're looking for competitive pay, additional monthly bonus potential, professional growth, and a team that actually supports you, we'd love to meet you.

⏰ Your Schedule. Their Time of Need.

This role is designed specifically around our highest-demand hours:

Weekdays: 3:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Weekends: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Part-time schedule with peak-hour availability required.

These are the hours when kids are home from school, parents are available, and families are often most ready to engage in care.

Your availability can help a family get the support they need when they actually need it.

💰 Competitive Pay + Monthly Bonus Potential

We believe clinicians should be rewarded for both their clinical expertise and their commitment to providing consistent, high-quality care.

  • 💵 $65 per billable hour — LCSW-C, LCPC, or LMFT with independent licensure
  • 💵 $45 per billable hour — LMSW or LGPC (supervision provided; limited openings)
  • 🎯 Monthly bonus potential for eligible clinicians based on applicable productivity and performance criteria
  • 🏥 Medical, dental, and vision

  • 🌱 Employee Assistance Program
  • 🚀 Clinical leadership opportunities, including our Residency & Fellowship Program

⭐ Boost Your Monthly Earnings

Eligible clinicians have the opportunity to earn an additional monthly performance-based bonus on top of their regular billable compensation.

Bonus eligibility is based on applicable productivity and performance expectations, giving clinicians another opportunity to increase their monthly earnings while being recognized for consistently delivering high-quality care.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

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.

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.
