The short answer
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for licensed therapists in Texas to treat Veterans, Veteran spouses, and children of Veterans by telehealth. You need an independent license in Texas, such as LPC, LMFT, LCSW, or psychologist, and your clients must be located in Texas during sessions.
Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Texas?
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Texas. 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 1,518,967 Veterans live in Texas, the largest Veteran population of any state, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.
Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Texas?
The independent counselor license in Texas is the LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), issued by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, part of the Behavioral Health Executive Council. 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 Texas also qualify, under the titles Texas uses.
For telehealth, the license has to match where the client is sitting during the session. To see a client located in Texas, you need a Texas license or a valid compact privilege. See Can Therapists See Telehealth Clients in Another State?
Can you practice in Texas through a compact?
- Counseling Compact: Texas isn't a member as of October 2026, so counselors need a Texas license.
- PSYPACT: Texas participates, so psychologists with PSYPACT authority can practice telepsychology with clients located there.
- Social Work Licensure Compact: Texas 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.
What VA care is available in Texas?
VA medical centers serving Texas include facilities in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Temple, Waco, Amarillo, Big Spring, Bonham, and Kerrville. Use VA's facility locator for clinics and Vet Centers near a client.
Texas is in Community Care Network Region 4, run by TriWest. VA has started moving to new network contracts, so regions and administrators may change. Texas is large enough that many Veterans live hours from the nearest VA medical center.
