Who This Role Is For

You're an associate clinician (LPC-A) in Texas who's already accruing post-graduate hours toward full licensure and wants a remote caseload that matters.

  • Guaranteed pay for late cancellations and no-shows — your time is always compensated
  • $35–45/hr — one of the most competitive rates for associate-level telehealth in Texas
  • 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
