MA Licensed DBT Therapist - DBT Master’s or Doctoral - Telehealth - Full-Time

About the Role:

Lyra developed an innovative video therapy program called Lyra Care Therapy: Blending live video sessions with between-session digital psychoeducation and customizable skill building tools. The Lyra Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program capitalizes on Lyra Care Therapy to supplement standard individual DBT and DBT skills groups with novel between-session DBT-relevant digital activities—activities that help promote skill generalization and integration into your clients’ daily lives. Lyra DBT clients also have 24/7 access to a team of licensed clinicians who have been trained in DBT skills coaching for around the clock support.

As a Lyra DBT Therapist, you’ll provide individual DBT and DBT skills groups via live video to adult clients. You’ll also assign DBT-relevant digital lessons, videos, and assessments to your clients to enhance learnings and monitor outcomes between sessions. Lyra's clients come from a multitude of backgrounds and experiences, and have varying needs and abilities. We strive to continue to meet their unique needs by delivering culturally responsive care—an approach that accounts for the impact of cultural backgrounds on each person’s care experience.

Our therapists enjoy connecting with their colleagues who share a passion for providing evidence-based care. You’ll attend weekly consultation team meetings as well as one-on-one consultation meetings with an expert DBT team lead, co-lead DBT skills groups with other DBT providers, and attend robust trainings to enhance your clinical skills. You always have a team behind you if a crisis comes up. You’re never alone, even while working remotely in the US.

This role is a great fit if you’re a MA licensed DBT clinician who enjoys working with complex clients in a supportive, collaborative, and feedback rich environment. You may also find this role rewarding if:
