The short answer
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for licensed therapists in Oregon to treat Veterans, Veteran spouses, and children of Veterans by telehealth. You need an independent license in Oregon, such as LPC, LMFT, LCSW, or psychologist, and your clients must be located in Oregon during sessions.
Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Oregon?
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Oregon. 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 254,365 Veterans live in Oregon, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.
Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Oregon?
The independent counselor license in Oregon is the LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), issued by the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Oregon also qualify, under the titles Oregon uses.
For telehealth, the license has to match where the client is sitting during the session. To see a client located in Oregon, you need an Oregon license or a valid compact privilege. See Can Therapists See Telehealth Clients in Another State?
Can you practice in Oregon through a compact?
- Counseling Compact: Oregon isn't a member as of October 2026, so counselors need an Oregon license.
- PSYPACT: Oregon isn't participating as of 2026, so psychologists need an Oregon license.
- Social Work Licensure Compact: Oregon wasn't listed as a member on the compact's jurisdiction page as of 2026.
Compact status changes often. See Counseling Compact, PSYPACT, and the Social Work Compact and the Counseling Compact map.
