Licensed Mental Health Therapist (LCSW, LMHC) – Part-Time | New York City, NY

In New York City, independently licensed mental health therapists working in digital behavioral health settings combine structured outpatient psychotherapy with coordinated care pathways. This part-time role at aptihealth centers on individual treatment of adults presenting with anxiety, depression, stress-related conditions, trauma, and adjustment disorders. Clinicians apply evidence-based approaches—particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed methods—while conducting ongoing assessment and adjusting care according to measured progress. The position requires a minimum of three years of individual counseling experience and an active independent clinical license (LCSW, LMHC, or accepted equivalent). Practice occurs entirely through a virtual platform linked to an affiliated medical group, allowing therapists to focus on goal-oriented clinical work within an organized interdisciplinary framework rather than isolated private practice.
