Therapist Jobs Serving Veterans in Minnesota: Telehealth Opportunities

Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Minnesota?

Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Minnesota. 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 277,912 Veterans live in Minnesota, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.

Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Minnesota?

The independent counselor license in Minnesota is the LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor), issued by the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy. Minnesota also licenses LPCs; the LPCC is the clinical license. ValorWell works with the independent clinical license. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Minnesota also qualify, under the titles Minnesota uses.

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

Can you practice in Minnesota through a compact?

• Counseling Compact: Minnesota 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 Minnesota.
• PSYPACT: Minnesota participates, so psychologists with PSYPACT authority can practice telepsychology with clients located there.
• Social Work Licensure Compact: Minnesota 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 Minnesota?

VA medical centers serving Minnesota include facilities in Minneapolis and St. Cloud. Use VA's facility locator for clinics and Vet Centers near a client.

Minnesota is in Community Care Network Region 2, run by Optum. VA has started moving to new network contracts, so regions and administrators may change. Minnesota was one of the first two states to issue Counseling Compact privileges, in September 2025.

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.
