About the role
REMOTE PSYCHOTHERAPIST — ILLINOIS
Work like a private-practice therapist AND get the support, stability, and benefits of being a W-2 clinician.
PeoplePsych is hiring Illinois therapists who want control over their schedules, autonomy in their clinical work, meaningful benefits, and real support behind them.
Here is what you get:
- Fully remote W-2 employment
- Truly choose your schedule and caseload
- No required evenings or weekends
- 401(k) with a 4% safe-harbor employer match
- Accrued paid leave
- Continuing-education resources
- Marketing support
- Administrative support
- Clinical support and consultation
- Centralized intake and referral coordination
- Insurance verification and credentialing
- Claims submission, billing, and collections
- Professional website profile and directory support
- Secure EHR and telehealth platform
- Malpractice coverage for PeoplePsych clients
- Additional benefits as your caseload grows, including student-loan assistance, home-office support, health-care support, technology and internet stipend, and eligibility for employer-sponsored health insurance
You focus on therapy. We support the practice around you.
At PeoplePsych, you are not expected to build your professional life around a rigid productivity model. You decide when you work, how many clients you see, and the kind of clinical work you want to do.
Want a focused part-time caseload? Build one.
Want to grow toward a fuller schedule? Do that.
Want to deepen a specialty rather than trying to be the right therapist for everyone? We want that too.
CLINICAL AUTONOMY MATTERS HERE
You bring your own clinical strengths, interests, and approach.
Our intake process is designed to match clients thoughtfully with therapists. You are not expected to accept every referral. You retain responsibility for your clinical decisions, treatment approach, boundaries, and areas of specialization.
SUPPORT SHOULD ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE SUPPORT
PeoplePsych handles the infrastructure that consumes time in private practice:
- Referrals and intake
- Insurance verification
- Credentialing
- Claims
- Billing
- Collections
- Marketing
- Technology
- Practice administration
You still practice independently, but you are not left alone to run the business.
BENEFITS WITHOUT AN EXHAUSTING CASELOAD
You do not have to carry 25 to 30 sessions every week to receive the core benefits of working at PeoplePsych.
Core benefits such as W-2 employment, the 401(k) safe-harbor match, paid-leave accrual, continuing-education resources, and marketing, administrative, and clinical support are available regardless of the number of sessions you hold.
Additional benefits become available as average weekly caseload increases.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for Illinois-licensed therapists who are:
- Clinically thoughtful
- Reliable and professional
- Comfortable working independently
- Interested in building or strengthening a clinical specialty
- Committed to inclusive and affirming care
- Looking for flexibility without giving up support, benefits, or professional connection
Applicants should hold an active Illinois PhD, PsyD, LCSW, LCPC, LMFT, LSW, ALMFT, or LPC license in good standing and have experience providing psychotherapy.
WHY PEOPLEPSYCH?
Because therapists should be able to build a sustainable professional life.
You should be able to control your schedule.
You should be able to develop the kind of clinical practice that interests you.
You should be able to receive meaningful benefits without carrying an unnecessarily large caseload.
And you should be able to focus on being a therapist while someone else helps manage the machinery around the work.
That is what PeoplePsych is designed to provide.
