Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) - Telehealth

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) | Flexible Telehealth

Brightside (www.brightside.com) is a tech-enabled healthcare company. We provide quality mental health care, backed by science, and delivered with humanity. Using an evidenced-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, our members complete live video sessions with their counselor as well as self-guided video lessons and practice exercises outside of session.

Our team of licensed counselors are trained to deliver personalized, culturally responsive, and compassionate care to all of their members. This treatment program allows our counselors to apply their advanced clinical skills where they have the biggest impact - providing thoughtful support, a space to process, and solution-focused care in partnership with their clients.

Brightside licensed counselors also have the option to receive training for free in the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicide (CAMS) to treat members with elevated risk for suicide as part of our Crisis Care Program. Crisis Care is a first-of-its-kind virtual care program that provides timely, intermediate care for individuals who are actively suicidal and/or have had a recent suicide attempt. CAMS offers an evidence-backed framework and high-touch, collaborative treatment approach backed by 30 years of research.

With Brightside’s innovative care model, 86% of our members are feeling better in 12 weeks (or less) and we’re delivering 50%+ higher rates of response and remission for depression when compared to a top US health system.
