Job Description

Who This Role Is For

You're an associate clinician (LSW or LPC) in Illinois who's already accruing post-graduate hours toward full licensure and wants a remote caseload that matters. You want supervision support, flexible scheduling, and none of the administrative burden that slows most early-career clinicians down. Daybreak was built for exactly this stage of your career.

What Makes This Different

  • Free supervision — no cost to you when caseload requirements are met, with a Daybreak-assigned supervisor
  • Guaranteed pay for late cancellations and no-shows — your time is always compensated
  • $40–50/hr — one of the most competitive rates for associate-level telehealth in Illinois
  • Fully remote — work from anywhere in Texas
  • Flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends
  • No billing, no credentialing, no admin — we handle everything
  • 90% of students say we matched them to the right clinician

What Our Clinicians Are Saying

"As we learn, we're teaching each other. A lot of the interventions that I've used are things I've learned from other clinicians. I really love the clinical collaboration."

"I absolutely love working with my young clients. They are so real, honest, and... hilarious! They're the ones inspiring me!"

The Work

You'll provide evidence-based teletherapy to K–12 students across Illinois, collaborating with school counselors and families statewide. You'll participate in case consultations and contribute to clinical program development as we grow.

What You Need

  • Active LPC or LSW in Illinois (required — we are only able to hire these license types at this time)
  • Minimum of 500 post-graduate supervised hours already completed (required — this role is best suited for associates with an established start toward full licensure, not candidates just beginning their post-graduate track)
  • Experience or strong interest in working with school-aged youth and families
  • Comfortable with telehealth and EHR systems
  • Available Mon–Fri afternoons/evenings (weekend slots also available)
  • Preferred
  • Bilingual Spanish/English fluency (preferred — bilingual applicants will be prioritized)
