Behavioral Therapist
Behavioral Therapist Role at Modern Therapy Alliance in Chicago Location: Hybrid
This role is for therapists who want to do meaningful clinical work while being part of a practice that actually supports them. Many therapy roles either overwhelm clinicians with admin work or isolate them without real support. We’ve built something different.
At Modern Therapy Alliance, you’ll work with adult clients navigating anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and emotional regulation. We value therapists who are engaged, direct, and genuinely present in the room, not overly scripted or disconnected.
Our goal is to create an environment where you can focus on your clients, grow clinically, and build a sustainable career without burnout.
How the Role Works
This is a W-2 position with a mix of in-person and virtual sessions, typically about two-thirds telehealth and one-third in-person in Logan Square.
You can expect a caseload of approximately 27 to 30 scheduled sessions per week, with support ramping up your schedule within your first 60 days. We provide referrals, marketing, and administrative support so you can focus on clinical work rather than logistics.
Scheduling is flexible and includes evenings or weekends, reflecting when clients are most available.

✓ Provide individual and/or couples therapy using evidence-based approaches
✓ Conduct intake assessments and develop treatment plans

✓ Collaborate with colleagues and participate in consultation
What We’re Looking For
✓ Licensed in Illinois (LCSW, LCPC, LMFT, PsyD)
✓ Master’s degree in a relevant clinical field
✓ Must reside in Illinois (NPI number and diploma verification required)
✓ Strong interpersonal and communication skills
✓ A direct, relational therapy style that values authenticity over formality
✓ A commitment to long-term client relationships and meaningful clinical work
What We Provide
✓ Minimal administrative work (billing, scheduling, marketing handled for you)
✓ Consistent referrals and support maintaining a full caseload
✓ Ongoing consultation and clinical collaboration
✓ Access to modalities like IFS, DBT, and EFT with practical application
✓ CEU support and continued professional development
✓ Real tools and systems (EMR, intake, payroll, etc.)
✓ A collaborative, supportive team environment
✓ Flexibility with a hybrid work model
✓ Opportunities for growth within the practice
Compensation and Benefits
✓ $50–$70 per hour depending on experience and licensure
✓ W-2 employment with paid time off

✓ 401k plan (coming soon)
What Makes This Practice Different
Modern Therapy Alliance is intentionally small and growing. You won’t be one of dozens of therapists lost in a system. Instead, you’ll be part of a practice where your voice matters and your development is taken seriously.
We focus on helping therapists become confident, capable clinicians by combining real-world experience with strong supervision. This is a place where you can learn quickly, feel supported, and actually enjoy the work you’re doing.
Your Future With Us
Some therapists stay and grow into leadership roles within the practice. Others eventually open their own practice. We support both paths.
Our goal is to help you build the clinical confidence and practical knowledge to succeed long-term, wherever that leads.
