Bilingual Licensed Mental Health Therapist - (LCSW, LPC)
About the role
Licensed Mental Health Therapist — Bilingual English/Spanish Strongly Preferred
Remote · Illinois License Required · Part-time or Full-time
Many of the families we serve want therapy in Spanish. We need clinicians who can show up for them.
Backpack Healthcare provides mental health care for children, teens, and young adults — all online, covered by most insurance. We're clinician-led and minority-owned, and we're growing fast across Illinois, particularly among Spanish-speaking families who've had too few options for too long.
If you're a bilingual therapist who believes culturally responsive care isn't a bonus feature but the whole point — we want to talk.
What this role looks like
You'll carry a caseload of 15–36 sessions per week (you choose part-time or full-time) providing individual, family, and group therapy via telehealth. Most of our clinicians work weekday afternoons and evenings (2–9 PM), with weekend availability a plus.
Day-to-day you'll:
- Conduct intakes and build client-centered, trauma-informed treatment plans
- Collaborate with our interdisciplinary team — therapists, PMHNPs, and psychiatrists working together
- Maintain timely documentation in our EHR
- Support families with education and care coordination, not just the child in the room
What we offer
- $45–$65/billable hour, based on license level
- Medical, dental, and vision (full-time)
- 401(k) with 3% company match
- Paid time off
- $300 annual CEU reimbursement
- Free clinical supervision for LMSW/LPC roles
- $25,000 company-paid life insurance
- Employee Assistance Program
- Pathways to clinical leadership, including our Residency & Fellowship Program
What we're looking for
- Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred
- Illinois licensure as LCSW or LPC
- Experience with children, teens, or young adults
