The short answer

You need an independent license in Pennsylvania, such as LPC, LMFT, LCSW, or psychologist, and your clients must be located in Pennsylvania during sessions.
Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Pennsylvania?
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Pennsylvania. Veterans, Veteran spouses, and children of Veterans there are looking for therapists who accept CHAMPVA and VA Community Care, and there aren't enough.

Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Pennsylvania?
The independent counselor license in Pennsylvania is the LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional Counselors. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Pennsylvania also qualify, under the titles Pennsylvania uses.
For telehealth, the license has to match where the client is sitting during the session. To see a client located in Pennsylvania, you need a Pennsylvania license or a valid compact privilege. See Can Therapists See Telehealth Clients in Another State?
Can you practice in Pennsylvania through a compact?
- Counseling Compact: Pennsylvania has enacted the compact but wasn't yet listed as issuing privileges as of October 2026. Until it does, counselors need a Pennsylvania license.
- PSYPACT: Pennsylvania participates, so psychologists with PSYPACT authority can practice telepsychology with clients located there.
- Social Work Licensure Compact: Pennsylvania 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.
