Job Description

Private practice with no doors and no overhead.

BetterHelp is one of the world’s largest online therapy platforms for mental health professionals who want to focus on client care — not admin or overhead. You provide the expertise. We handle the rest.

Why Join BetterHelp

  • $1,000 first client bonus*— Earn more when you see your first insurance client within 30 days of applying.
  • Competitive hourly compensation with an estimated range between $43 to $70 per hour for live sessions**
    • Therapists can now earn up to 33% more per session for insurance clients.
  • $650 Health Benefit Stipend: Eligibility for the Health Benefit Stipend requires a continuous commitment of 30 hours a week
  • No insurance headaches: No clawbacks. No payment delays. We handle everything — you get paid weekly for every session.
  • Increase Caseloads: 70% of clients use insurance, helping you build and sustain a strong caseload.

*To qualify for the $1,000 First Client Bonus, therapists must be licensed in California and see their first client within 30 days of submitting their application. Therapists licensed in other states who meet the same 30-day requirement may qualify for a $500 First Client Bonus.

Additional Benefits

  • Work from the comfort of home (fully remote)
  • Flexible schedule – you set your own hours.
  • Free access to 390+ CEU courses

  • Experienced Mental Health Therapist or Counselor with a passion for helping adults, couples, or teens.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of mental health counseling experience
  • Master’s or Doctorate in Counseling, Psychology, Social Work, or Marriage & Family Therapy
