About the role

Lyra developed an innovative video therapy program called Lyra Care Therapy: blending live video sessions with between-session digital psychoeducation and customizable skill-building tools. As a Lyra Care Therapist, you’ll provide short-term, evidence-based treatment via live video, maintaining a caseload of diverse clinical needs.

Expert consultation and support are available for complex cases, including specialty consultations and culturally responsive care planning.

This role is ideal for a licensed clinician with excellent interpersonal skills who values continuous learning, thrives in a feedback-rich environment, and has experience managing a comprehensive spectrum of mental health needs, from milder presentations to more complex and severe support.
