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

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