Licensed Telehealth Therapist (Outpatient Program)

Merakey is seeking a Licensed Therapist - Telehealth to provide person-centered, recovery-focused outpatient mental health services. This is a full-time (40 hours/week) position that is primarily telehealth-based, with limited in-person responsibilities as needed to support client care and team collaboration.

This role is ideal for a clinician who loves doing therapy, works well independently, and values being part of a supportive local outpatient team rather than an isolated, platform-based telehealth model.

At Merakey, you’ll find more than just a telehealth role, you’ll find a team. We offer the flexibility clinicians want, paired with the structure, support, benefits, and mission of a locally rooted organization committed to improving lives.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide individual and group therapy using evidence-based, person-centered approaches, primarily through telehealth.
• Independently manage a clinical caseload, including assessment, treatment planning, and ongoing clinical intervention.
• Collaborate with the outpatient treatment team and lead mini treatment teams to ensure coordinated, high-quality care.
• Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation in accordance with organizational, regulatory, and payer requirements.
• Participate in crisis intervention and on-call rotation as required.
