Therapist Jobs Serving Veterans in Vermont: Telehealth Opportunities

Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Vermont?

Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Vermont. 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 36,344 Veterans live in Vermont, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report. It's a smaller population, but providers who take VA programs are scarcer too.

Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Vermont?

The independent counselor license in Vermont is the LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor), issued by the Vermont Board of Allied Mental Health Practitioners, through the Office of Professional Regulation. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Vermont also qualify, under the titles Vermont uses.

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

Can you practice in Vermont through a compact?

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

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.
