Mental Health Therapist - 1099 Contractor - Oklahoma

About the role

Lyra Clinical Associates partners with Lyra Health, a leading provider of evidence-based mental health care serving more than 20 million people globally through employer partnerships and over 100 million through health plan and partner relationships. Lyra has delivered more than 15 million sessions of mental health care, published more than 35 peer‑reviewed studies, and achieved outstanding outcomes in access, clinical effectiveness, and cost efficiency. Members can access care within one day, and nine out of ten improve with support from providers like you. Lyra is transforming access to life‑changing mental health care through Lyra Empower, the only fully integrated, AI‑powered platform that combines high‑quality care with technology solutions. You will be contracted by Lyra Clinical Associates.

Lyra’s provider network includes in‑person and virtual therapists, physicians, and coaches across the United States. With advanced matching technology, a supportive provider platform, and opportunities for training and clinical consultation, joining the network lets you focus on client care while Lyra handles self‑promotion and scheduling. This opportunity is ideal for independently licensed clinical therapists who want to provide culturally responsive, evidence‑based therapy for children, adults, couples, and/or families. Lyra encourages clinicians with experience across a full spectrum of mental health needs—from mild presentations to complex, severe cases—to apply. The role offers well‑matched and motivated clients, administrative and marketing support, and easy invoicing with quick payments. A strong preference is given to providers who can see clients in person through their private or group practice.
