Job description

The Short Version

Fully remote from anywhere in Montana. You live in the state you serve.

Full-time, with a minimum of 27 patient-facing hours per week on a schedule you set.

$54,500 base salary plus a monthly bonus based on total wRVUs billed. The bonus is uncapped. Expected total annual compensation is $70,000 to $80,000 once your caseload is established. Therapists who see patients 27 hours a week year-round typically earn about $74,000.

Provide evidence-based individual, family, and group therapy across a broad range of mental health needs. Frontier cares for patients of all ages, from children to older adults.

Work as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and a clinical pharmacist.

Weekly supervision, rounding, or case consultation as directed by the Director of Psychotherapy and Care Management.

We support the judicious use of clinical AI tools that have been vetted for efficacy and safety, always with a human in the loop.

Why This Role Exists

Montana is home to many rural and underserved communities where access to behavioral health services can be limited. Frontier Psychiatry exists to help close that gap by bringing high-quality psychiatric and therapeutic care directly to patients through secure telehealth.

As a Clinical Therapist, you will provide evidence-based therapy to patients while working as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and a clinical pharmacist. You will have the opportunity to build meaningful therapeutic relationships, support patients in achieving their goals, and help expand access to care without sacrificing clinical quality.

We are hiring a Montana-based therapist on purpose. Telehealth allows us to reach patients throughout the state, including communities where traditional access to behavioral health services may be limited. Living in Montana gives you an understanding of the communities and realities your patients experience.

This is direct clinical work with a clear purpose behind it.

Schedule & Commitment

This is a full-time role with a minimum of 27 patient-facing hours per week. You set your own schedule. The rest of your week goes to documentation, supervision, and team consultation.

Utilize evidence-based assessment tools to support clinical decision-making.

Provide short-term, targeted therapy using evidence-based modalities.

Deliver individual, family, or group therapy as clinically appropriate.

Tailor interventions to patient goals while maintaining a clear therapeutic strategy.

Provide psychoeducation related to coping skills, communication, stress management, and emotional regulation.

Develop and maintain individualized treatment plans aligned with patient needs, clinical guidelines, and SMART goal setting.

Regularly reassess patient progress and adjust treatment plans accordingly.

Monitor treatment response and modify interventions when clinically appropriate.

Crisis intervention

Conduct structured risk assessments for patients experiencing acute distress.

Develop appropriate safety plans.

Collaborate with the multidisciplinary care team to support safe follow-up and continuity of care.

Collaboration and care coordination

Work closely with psychiatric providers, medical teams, and behavioral health colleagues to support integrated care.

Participate in multidisciplinary treatment planning and case consultation.

Assist patients with referrals and navigation of community resources when appropriate.

Documentation and compliance

Complete accurate, clinically sound documentation within organizational timeline standards.

Ensure documentation meets billing, regulatory, and organizational requirements.

Maintain confidentiality and comply with informed consent and mandatory reporting requirements.

Maintain all required continuing education and regulatory requirements.

Professional growth

Stay current with evidence-based therapeutic approaches and developments in behavioral health.

Participate in supervision, rounding, and clinical consultation.

Be willing to obtain licensure in additional states as needed to meet clinical demand.

By 90 days: You are providing consistent, high-quality therapy, maintaining timely documentation, and confidently collaborating with psychiatric providers and the broader behavioral health team.

Over your first year: Your patients are making meaningful progress toward their treatment goals. You are practicing evidence-based therapy, collaborating effectively with colleagues, and helping expand access to behavioral health care for patients throughout Alaska.
