You’ve Found Your Calling – It’s Time to Maximize Your Potential

River City Counseling is an Arkansas-based private practice offering counseling jobs for licensed therapists seeking autonomy, flexibility, and professional support. We believe clinician wellness directly impacts client outcomes, and we have built a practice that supports both. Our collaborative counseling practice was built intentionally, not as a traditional agency model, but for licensed mental health professionals who want the freedom of private practice without the isolation or administrative burden that often comes with it.

A Collaborative Private Practice for Therapists

What makes us different? Collaboration without control. We thrive in a culture of inclusivity, not hierarchy or competition.

We are not a traditional agency model. Our practice is a community of independent therapists working together in an ethical and supportive environment. We support one another, consult organically, and work together for the betterment of our clients and the practice as a whole.

Clinicians in our practice value:

• Professional collaboration without micromanagement
• Clinical independence paired with strong administrative support
• A workplace culture rooted in inclusivity, respect, and ethical excellence

Independent Contractor Counseling Positions (1099)

Independence matters here.

You are not a W-2 employee. All clinicians practice as 1099 independent contractors, allowing you to operate as your own boss  while benefiting from the structure of an established private practice. You set your pace, maintain your clinical voice, and structure your work in a way that aligns with your values and energy. Your time is respected because your clients deserve your full presence.

What this means for you:

• Set your own schedule and caseload
• Maintain full clinical autonomy
• No mandatory staff meetings or productivity quotas
• Practice in a way that aligns with your values and professional identity
  

Focus on Therapy—We Handle the Rest

Focus on what you do best.  We have a dedicated administrative team that handles scheduling, and the ever-changing insurance landscape. That means no chasing payments, no deciphering insurance policies, and no administrative burnout. You come in, do the work you love, and leave the rest to us.

Our full administrative team manages:

• Client scheduling
• Insurance credentialing and billing
• Claims management and reimbursement
• Ongoing changes in insurance regulations

This allows our therapists to focus entirely on providing high-quality counseling services without the stress of private practice logistics.

Telehealth Counseling Jobs in Arkansas

We offer both in-office and statewide telehealth counseling opportunities. Clinicians holding an active Arkansas state license may provide telehealth therapy services to clients anywhere in Arkansas.

This model allows therapists to:

• Expand their reach beyond a single location
• Build a flexible, sustainable caseload
• Balance in-person and remote therapy options
  

Competitive Compensation & Insurance Support

Our practice provides access to established insurance networks and contractual rates designed to reflect each clinician's education, licensure, and experience.

Perks include:

• Strong insurance reimbursement rates
• Streamlined credentialing and payer relationships
• Administrative systems that protect clinician time and energy
  

Licensed Therapist Positions We Are Seeking

We are currently welcoming licensed mental health professionals including:

• Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC)
• Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW)
• Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT)
• Psychologists

Preferred clinical orientations include trauma-informed therapy, attachment-based counseling, and evidence-based therapeutic models.  We value clinicians who practice at the highest ethical and professional standards.

Private Practice Without Burnout

Our clinicians don’t join us because they want another job. They join because they want freedom without isolation, support without micromanagement, and community without obligation. 

Therapists choose River City Counseling because they want:

• Private practice freedom without isolation
• Administrative support without loss of autonomy
• A clinician community that values wellness, balance, and sustainability

This is a practice where therapists can build long-term, fulfilling careers while maintaining personal and professional wellbeing.

A Welcoming, Thoughtfully Designed Therapy Space

Our clinicians practice in spacious, thoughtfully designed office spaces  that reflect the same warmth and care we offer our clients. Each therapy space is intentionally created to feel calm, comfortable, and inviting, supporting meaningful therapeutic work  from the moment a client walks through the door.

Comfortable furnishings and a peaceful atmosphere, allow clinicians to practice without feeling rushed, crowded, or clinical. We believe the physical environment matters for both client regulation and clinical wellbeing.

This space is where:

• Clients feel safe, seen, and at ease
• Therapists feel grounded, supported, and proud of their workspace
• The environment enhances, rather than distracts from, the therapeutic process
