Job Description
Our Philosophy The conditions your clients need to heal are the same conditions you need to do this work well. That belief is at the heart of Live Your Life Counseling. Our work is built on a clear philosophy of healing. Healing isn't about fixing what's broken or forcing yourself to move on. It's about loosening the grip of past experiences that make life feel constricted, and helping people feel safer, more settled, and less driven by survival, so they have more freedom, choice, and access to the lives they want to live. That philosophy doesn't stop with our clinical work; it shapes how we run our practice. We believe clinicians do their best work when they aren't chronically overextended or living in survival mode themselves. We keep caseloads manageable and compensate our clinicians fairly. We actively resist the hustle culture that treats burnout as a badge of honor. A clinician who is exhausted and overwhelmed can't consistently offer safety, presence, and care, and if those conditions are essential for healing, it's our responsibility to create them for the people doing the work. We also believe your long-term growth matters. Whichever role you step into, we want it to support your development, not limit it. If your time here helps you build confidence, deepen your skills, and clarify your direction as a clinician, we see that as a success, for you and for the people you'll go on to serve. The Roles Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) You'll carry an adult caseload, seen in person and via telehealth, with full administrative and clinical support. The minimum expectation is 24 completed client hours per week (most clinicians book around 28 sessions to comfortably land there, accounting for typical cancellations).

Pre-Licensed Clinician (LPCC) No post-graduate clinical experience required. You'll carry an adult caseload, seen in person and via telehealth, with strong clinical, administrative, and supervisory support as you build confidence and competence. The minimum expectation is 24 completed client hours per week (most clinicians book around 28 sessions to account for typical cancellations). You control your own schedule and how you structure your week to meet that goal. Weekly individual supervision is included at no cost to you, paid at your admin rate, and counts toward your required licensure hours. You'll also have access to an AI-assisted note-taking tool at no cost to you.
