Licensed Clinician - (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) - Vienna, VA

About the role

The Licensed Clinician role functions like a private practice without the hassle of managing a back office. Clinicians work a 40‑hour week, spending the majority of time providing direct clinical care and the remainder on patient documentation and facility correspondence. The position is on‑site, working with residents and their families, and serves as an active, lead member of an interdisciplinary team of physicians and nurse practitioners to address residents’ emotional, social, and psychological needs. Clinicians control their own caseload, schedule, and ultimately their compensation.

• Foster open communication with facility staff, Regional Clinical Manager, and other stakeholders.

• Flexibility and autonomy—private‑practice perks without back‑office management.
• Ongoing education through workshops, one‑on‑one or small‑group sessions, and weekly Coding Corner updates.
