Telehealth Therapist Jobs Serving Veterans in Mississippi

Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Mississippi?

Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Mississippi. 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 177,553 Veterans live in Mississippi, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.

Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Mississippi?

The independent counselor license in Mississippi is the LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), issued by the Mississippi Board of Examiners for Licensed Professional Counselors. Provisional Licensed Professional Counselors 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 Mississippi also qualify, under the titles Mississippi uses.

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

Can you practice in Mississippi through a compact?

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

VA medical centers serving Mississippi include facilities in Jackson and Biloxi. Use VA's facility locator for clinics and Vet Centers near a client.

Mississippi is in Community Care Network Region 3, run by Optum. VA has started moving to new network contracts, so regions and administrators may change. Much of Mississippi is rural, including the Delta, where providers are scarce.

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.
