Therapist Jobs Serving Veterans in Delaware: Telehealth Opportunities

Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Delaware?

Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Delaware. Veterans, Veteran spouses, and children of Veterans there are looking for therapists who accept CHAMPVA and VA Community Care, and there aren't enough.

VA estimates about 61,773 Veterans live in Delaware, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report. It's a smaller population, but providers who take VA programs are scarcer too.

Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Delaware?

The independent counselor license in Delaware is the LPCMH (Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health), issued by the Delaware Board of Mental Health and Chemical Dependency Professionals. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Delaware also qualify, under the titles Delaware uses.

For telehealth, the license has to match where the client is sitting during the session. To see a client located in Delaware, you need a Delaware license or a valid compact privilege. See Can Therapists See Telehealth Clients in Another State?

Can you practice in Delaware through a compact?

• Counseling Compact: Delaware has enacted the compact but wasn't yet listed as issuing privileges as of October 2026. Until it does, counselors need a Delaware license.
• PSYPACT: Delaware participates, so psychologists with PSYPACT authority can practice telepsychology with clients located there.
• Social Work Licensure Compact: Delaware has enacted it, but the compact isn't issuing multistate licenses yet.

Compact status changes often. See Counseling Compact, PSYPACT, and the Social Work Compact and the Counseling Compact map.

Important limits

• Fully licensed only. Associates and prescribers aren't a fit right now.
• Check the board. License titles and rules can change; the state board is the authority.
