    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

    What You Bring

    Required — Full LPC:

    • Active, unencumbered Texas LPC license (BHEC)
    • Master's or doctoral degree in counseling or related field
    • 2+ years of post-licensure behavioral health experience
    • Familiarity with DSM diagnostic criteria

    Required — LPC-Associate:

    • Active, unencumbered Texas LPC-Associate license (BHEC)
    • Master's or doctoral degree in counseling or related field
    • Board-approved supervision plan ready to activate at hire

    Both:

    • Ability to pass required background and registry checks
    • Strong documentation skills and ability to meet deadlines

    Nice to Have

    • LPC-Supervisor designation
    • Experience in community mental health, LMHA, or MCO-contracted settings
    • Bilingual (English/Spanish)
    • Telehealth and EHR experience
    • Training in DBT, trauma-focused CBT, or other specialty modalities
