Licensed Therapist – 1099 Independent Contractor | Remote (IL & MO)

Who We Are

CLS is a telehealth group practice serving Missouri and Illinois. Our clients are high-achieving millennials, Gen Z adults, overwhelmed moms, teens, and LGBTQ+ individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, identity, couples stress, and life transitions. Our approach is direct, evidence-based, and built around real action — not just talk.

We're growing, and we want clinicians who are too.

• Work well independently and thrive in a virtual setting
