Therapist Jobs Serving Veterans in Ohio: Telehealth Opportunities

Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Ohio?

Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Ohio. 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 640,089 Veterans live in Ohio, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.

Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Ohio?

The independent counselor license in Ohio is the LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor), issued by the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. In Ohio, the LPC is the earlier license and the LPCC is the independent clinical license. ValorWell works with the independent clinical license. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Ohio also qualify, under the titles Ohio uses.

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

Can you practice in Ohio through a compact?

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

Ohio is in Community Care Network Region 2, run by Optum. VA has started moving to new network contracts, so regions and administrators may change. Ohio began issuing Counseling Compact privileges in January 2026.

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.
