What are the responsibilities and job description for the Licensed Mental Health Counselor / Therapist (Remote) position at Talkspace?
What is Talkspace?
Talkspace is a leading virtual behavioral healthcare platform that connects mental health therapists and counselors with clients in their licensed state(s) through an easy-to-use and HIPAA-compliant app. We're committed to helping people lead healthier, happier lives through access to high-quality mental healthcare. We believe mental healthcare is core to overall health & should be available to everyone.
How does Talkspace work?
Talkspace matches you with clients and checks patient insurance eligibility. Exchange text, video, and audio messages with your clients from almost anywhere, at any time. Our platform also supports Live Sessions via video, audio, and messaging.
The Perks:
- Flexible Hours: Choose your time commitment and set a schedule that works best for you and your clients (even on weekends or evenings) - we ask that you respond to client messages 5 days/week. You can dedicate as much time as you want to Talkspace - no minimum hour or caseload requirements in this fully remote role.
- No Overhead: Match with members outside your local area to provide services, manage cases, and submit session notes via a single, HIPAA-compliant app without insurance barriers, marketing budgets, administrative costs, or other expenses associated with private practice.
- Provider Support: Access resources including our Provider Help Center, Provider Manual, and a dedicated Provider Support Team that will help answer your questions. A 24/7 crisis hotline is also available for clients who need emergency assistance when you are unavailable.
- Free CE Credits: Obtain free Continuing Education credits when attending Talkspace-provided Learning Communities supported by the NBCC and ASWB.

Additionally, asynchronous messaging rates fluctuate depending on client plans, but reimbursement rates range between $12-$36. Finally, we offer a monthly bonus ($100-$4,000) that is based on the average number of clinical hours spent with clients on the platform per week, with eligibility starting at 3 weekly hours of client engagement.
