Telehealth Therapist Jobs Serving Veterans in South Carolina

Is ValorWell hiring therapists in South Carolina?

Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in South Carolina. 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 384,872 Veterans live in South Carolina, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.

Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in South Carolina?

The independent counselor license in South Carolina is the LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), issued by the South Carolina Board of Examiners for Licensure of Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Psycho-Educational Specialists. LPC Associates 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 South Carolina also qualify, under the titles South Carolina uses.

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

Can you practice in South Carolina through a compact?

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

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.
