Remote Licensed Psychologist jobs
22 open positions in the United States, newest first.
Licensed psychologists are doctoral-level clinicians, holding a PhD or PsyD, who are licensed by a state to practice independently. In addition to psychotherapy, they are the mental health profession trained to administer and interpret psychological and neuropsychological testing, and they frequently supervise other clinicians or lead clinical programs.

Doing this job remotely
Therapy and many evaluations can be delivered by video, but a psychologist must be authorized to practice where the client is located. That means a license in that state or, in participating states, authorization under the PSYPACT interstate compact. Some testing instruments still require in-person administration, which limits fully remote assessment work.
Where it comes from and where it leads
Psychologists complete a doctoral program, a clinical internship, supervised postdoctoral practice and a national licensing exam before independent licensure. Careers then lead to private practice, assessment specialization, clinical director roles, or academic and research positions.
