Original job description
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Breakthrough Breakthrough is a behavioral health organization providing compassionate, community-based mental health services to individuals and families across Texas. We are building a clinical team that leads with purpose - and we're looking for licensed counselors who want to do meaningful work in a compliant, well-supported environment. The Role As an LPC at Breakthrough, you will provide direct counseling services - individual, group, and family - and play an active role in treatment planning, crisis response, and coordinated care. Whether you hold a full LPC or are an LPC-Associate building toward full licensure, we have a place for you. Full LPC: You'll function at the LPHA level - independently diagnosing, signing treatment plans, and leading your own caseload. LPC-Supervisors may also provide board-approved supervision to Associates on our team. LPC-Associate: You'll provide direct services under a board-approved supervision plan with a qualifying LPC-Supervisor. All diagnosis and treatment plan sign-offs will be co-signed by a supervising LPHA. What You'll Do
- Provide individual, group, and family counseling using evidence-based approaches (CBT, MI, trauma-informed care, etc.)
- Conduct clinical assessments and contribute to treatment planning
- Respond to crisis situations and coordinate appropriate care
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including psychiatry, peer support, and case management
- Complete clinical documentation accurately and on time
- Deliver services in-person or via telehealth depending on program assignment

- Active, unencumbered Texas LPC license (BHEC)
- Master's or doctoral degree in counseling or related field
