Sample interview questions
What experience do you have treating clients as a Licensed Professional Counselor?

I have provided evidence-informed counseling within my scope of licensure, beginning with a thorough assessment and collaborative treatment plan. I tailor interventions to each client’s goals, monitor progress consistently, and coordinate referrals or a higher level of care when clinically appropriate.

How do you maintain ethical standards and client confidentiality in a telehealth setting?

I use secure, HIPAA-aligned technology, verify the client’s identity and physical location at the start of sessions, and discuss privacy limitations and emergency procedures during informed consent. I also document carefully, protect records, and follow my licensing board’s telehealth requirements.

How would you manage a client who presents with elevated safety risk?

I would complete a timely, structured risk assessment, explore protective factors, and create a collaborative safety plan when appropriate. If imminent risk is present, I would follow emergency protocols, involve appropriate crisis resources, and document my assessment, consultation, and actions thoroughly.

How do you build and retain a sustainable private-practice caseload?

I focus on clear communication, reliable scheduling, clinically appropriate treatment planning, and an accessible client experience. I also maintain accurate availability, use ethical marketing practices, and review caseload capacity regularly to ensure clients receive consistent, high-quality care.

Why are you interested in practicing through Headway?

Headway’s mission to improve access to insurance-covered mental healthcare strongly aligns with my values. Its support for credentialing, billing, and practice operations would allow me to spend more time focused on meaningful clinical work while retaining flexibility in how I structure my practice.

Opportunity details

About this role.

1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most providers don’t accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work – credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation – is a nightmare. We’ve automated that.

But we’re going further. Over 75,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 1 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale. We aren’t just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.

We’re a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

Are you a Licensed Professional Counselor looking to launch a private practice, or grow your existing practice?

Headway currently supports thousands of mental health clinicians across the United States in our mission to rewire the mental healthcare system for access and affordability by equipping mental health practitioners with the tools and resources they need to run their practices.

Whether you’re new to private practice or already have an established practice of your own, we’re excited to support you in reaching your goals!

By joining the Headway community, we’ll help you:

  • Accept insurance hassle-free by credentialing you with the nation’s largest networks and handling the billing and admin paperwork for you.

  • Maintain a flexible schedule by deciding how many clients you see through Headway, so that you can set the hours that work for you.

  • Grow your caseload by providing marketing support and best practices to grow your practice!

  • Use Headway’s practice management software to run your practice, but if using your own works better, that’s fine too!

We’ll also support your clients by:

  • Providing live, customized support to clinicians and clients in order to streamline the process of both seeking and providing care.

  • Verifying client insurance benefits instantly and automatically, so that access to care is never delayed, and you can see your clients with confidence.

And we do this all without additional fees! Headways is a flexible service, meaning your hours are yours to set, and it’s up to you whether you see your patients in-person or remotely via telehealth while working from home.

  • Licensure: You’re a Masters Level Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, LPCC, LCPC, LCPCS, LPCC-S)

We believe a team’s strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem – across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience.
