To apply for the Licensed Clinical Therapist position with TimelyCare in Ohio, candidates must hold a valid state license as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Marriage and Family Therapist (ILMFT), or Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW). Preference is given to those with a Ph.D. or Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology. Additional qualifications include strong clinical skills in documentation and assessment, crisis intervention experience, and a background working with young adults or at-risk populations.

As a Licensed Clinical Therapist working with TimelyCare, you’ll provide therapeutic counseling services to young adults, focusing on establishing treatment goals and developing personalized treatment plans. You'll document sessions using our HIPAA-compliant electronic health record, tailor counseling approaches based on each client's needs, and collaborate with other departments to ensure a comprehensive care strategy. The role also emphasizes creating a supportive environment that respects professional boundaries while promoting client engagement.

One of the great perks of being a Licensed Clinical Therapist at TimelyCare is the flexibility in scheduling. As a 1099 contractor, you can set your own hours from Monday to Sunday. This autonomy allows you to find the right work-life balance while ensuring you can meet the demands of your clients. Whether you prefer full-time or part-time hours, you get to decide how best to structure your workweek.

In this role, you will primarily serve a motivated population of college students who are looking to improve their mental health and well-being. These individuals are typically high-functioning, actively seeking support, and engaged in their treatment planning. Your work will focus on navigating their unique challenges while fostering a therapeutic environment where they feel comfortable exploring their emotional and psychological needs.

TimelyCare offers substantial support for its Licensed Clinical Therapists, including malpractice insurance coverage, reimbursement for late cancellations and no-shows, and complimentary continuing education courses to enhance your skills. Our platform ensures that you won't have to deal with insurance billing or payment issues, allowing you to focus fully on providing high-quality care to your clients.

When creating treatment plans, I emphasize a client-centered approach. I focus on understanding the individual needs and preferences of my clients, actively involving them in setting achievable goals. Using a collaborative strategy ensures that treatment plans are not only tailored but also promote engagement and commitment on the client's part.

Certainly! In a previous position, I encountered a client experiencing an acute crisis. I employed de-escalation techniques to help them articulate their feelings and thoughts. I provided reassurance and engaged them in coping strategies while facilitating a safe environment. This experience reinforced the importance of remaining calm and empathetic during crises.

I find evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) particularly effective with young adults. They provide practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationships, as well as helping clients understand the impact of their thoughts on their feelings and behaviors.

I prioritize ethical standards by remaining transparent with clients about confidentiality and informed consent. I adhere to HIPAA regulations by maintaining accurate records and securely managing client information through authorized systems, ensuring I continually stay informed about updates in confidentiality practices.

Building rapport begins with active listening and validation of the client's feelings. I aim to create a welcoming space where they feel safe to share their experiences. Utilizing genuineness and empathy, along with shared goals for therapy, enhances our therapeutic alliance.

I approach resistance by first seeking to understand the source of their reluctance. By exploring their thoughts and feelings openly, I can address any misunderstandings or fears. I often remind clients of their goals and guide them to recognize the benefits of our sessions.

In my experience working remotely, I’ve leveraged various technologies to conduct sessions effectively. Creating a distraction-free setting is crucial, and I ensure my clients can trust the digital environment we share. The remote context also allows for greater accessibility, which many clients appreciate.

I prioritize work-life balance by setting clear boundaries between professional and personal time. I schedule dedicated hours for client sessions and carve out personal time afterward. I also practice self-care regularly to prevent burnout, which is vital to remain an effective therapist.

I am dedicated to ongoing professional development, attending workshops, webinars, and engaging in peer supervision. I also subscribe to relevant journals and online resources to keep updated on the latest research and techniques in psychology and counseling.

The most rewarding aspect of being a Licensed Clinical Therapist is witnessing my clients' growth. Supporting them through their challenges and seeing them develop coping strategies and progress is incredibly fulfilling and motivates me to continue helping others.
