Mental Health Therapist - LCSW, LPC, LMFT
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove generic filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Pay Range: $69,100 - $103,800 annual total cash target pay. So we can include Pay section. Benefits: they list benefits under "Why Optum Behavioral Care Benefits". So include Benefits section. Schedule: not explicitly stated; they mention flexible work models, but no explicit schedule like full-time/part-time. Might not include Schedule if not specific. Could include "Flexible work models" maybe under Benefits. But we should not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It doesn't give schedule details, so omit.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe list of skills), Benefits, Pay.
We must use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can format them.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to cut out the long EEO statement, drug test, etc. Also remove "Explore opportunities at Optum Behavioral Care..." maybe that's promotional but could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but maybe still fluff. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The promotional paragraphs might be considered not boilerplate but could be kept? However they may be considered generic marketing. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep substantive info about role, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay. The promotional paragraphs about mission, vision, etc might be considered substantive? They describe organization purpose, vision. Could be considered part of About the role. We'll include them in About the role section.
We need to avoid duplication: there are repeated sentences about mission etc. We'll consolidate.
Let's extract key info:

Could also include evidence-based therapeutic modalities (CBT, DBT). But we already have responsibilities covering modalities. Skills section could include: proficiency with Excel, Outlook, Athena RMS (or other EHRs); ability to work independently and collaboratively; ability to provide psychotherapy in Spanish.

Pay Range: $69,100 - $103,800 annual total cash target pay. Annual total cash compensation assumes full‑time employment and includes earnings from hourly pay ($25/hr) and incentive pay; may increase over time based on productivity and performance. Minimum wage laws are complied with.
We should not include the extra sentence about benefits package etc because that's duplicate of Benefits section. We can mention that in addition to pay, benefits are offered (but we already have Benefits). Could keep short sentence: "In addition to pay, a comprehensive benefits package, recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution are available (subject to eligibility)." That's not duplicate but adds info. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we should not omit that sentence. So include it in Pay section or maybe a separate line. Let's include in Pay section as additional prose.
We must not include boilerplate like UnitedHealth Group mission, EEO, drug test, etc.
Check for duplicated lines: we have "Flexible work models and paid time off" appears in Benefits; also earlier in description "We offer flexible solutions designed to support both clinicians and the communities they serve." That's not duplicate exactly. Keep.
Now produce HTML fragment only.
