Licensed Mental Health Therapist- Illinois
About the role
Licensed Mental Health Therapist — Full-Time or Part-Time
Remote · Illinois License Required
We're growing our Illinois team. We're looking for therapists who want to do this work well — with a team that actually supports 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 believe the quality of care kids receive is directly tied to how well we support the people delivering it.
Whether you're looking for full-time stability or part-time flexibility, we have a place for you on our Illinois team.
What this role looks like
You'll carry a caseload of 15–36 sessions per week depending on whether you choose part-time or full-time. Most of our clinicians work weekday afternoons and evenings (2–9 PM), with weekend availability a plus. Strong referral flow means consistent income from the start.
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
- Flexible scheduling and supportive team environment
