Therapist Jobs Serving Veterans in Georgia: Telehealth Opportunities

Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Georgia?

Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Georgia. 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 650,739 Veterans live in Georgia, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.

Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Georgia?

The independent counselor license in Georgia is the LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), issued by the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists. Associate Professional Counselors (APC) practice under supervision, and ValorWell isn't working with supervised clinicians right now. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Georgia also qualify, under the titles Georgia uses.

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

Can you practice in Georgia through a compact?

• Counseling Compact: Georgia is a member state and is issuing privileges to practice, so counselors whose home state is also an active member can apply for a privilege to practice in Georgia.
• PSYPACT: Georgia participates, so psychologists with PSYPACT authority can practice telepsychology with clients located there.
• Social Work Licensure Compact: Georgia 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.

What VA care is available in Georgia?

VA medical centers serving Georgia include facilities in Atlanta (Decatur), Augusta, and Dublin. Use VA's facility locator for clinics and Vet Centers near a client.

Georgia is in Community Care Network Region 3, run by Optum. VA has started moving to new network contracts, so regions and administrators may change.

Important limits

• Need isn't a referral guarantee. Volume depends on client eligibility, authorizations, and fit.
• 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.
