Lyra Health is seeking a licensed Clinical Care Navigator to provide after-hours telephone and email support for clients with complex behavioral-health needs. The role centers on crisis management, safety assessment, care navigation, and connection to appropriate evidence-based providers and facilities rather than direct therapy. Candidates need independent clinical licensure such as LCSW, LMFT, LPC, or LPCC, or an RN license with relevant behavioral-health experience. This full-time remote role requires US residency and coverage of late evening to overnight shifts from Tuesday through Saturday.

Sample interview questions
I would remain calm, establish rapport, and complete a structured risk assessment covering intent, plan, means, timing, protective factors, and immediate safety. Based on the assessment and protocol, I would collaboratively develop a safety plan, engage emergency resources or a higher level of care when needed, document clearly, and ensure an appropriate warm handoff.
I use concise, client-centered communication to identify the immediate clinical need and prioritize safety first. I document in real time, follow established workflows, and communicate clear next steps so clients feel supported while cases move forward appropriately.
I would gather the relevant facts without making promises I cannot keep, assess immediate safety, and follow applicable reporting laws and company procedures. I would consult escalation resources when needed, make or support the required report, and document the rationale and actions taken objectively.
I approach changes with curiosity, review updated guidance carefully, and ask clarifying questions early. I incorporate feedback into my workflow, identify practical issues that affect client care, and share constructive observations with the team.
Effective remote communication requires active listening, a calm tone, plain language, validation, and frequent checks for understanding. I also set clear expectations, confirm the client’s location and available supports when safety is relevant, and provide concrete next steps before concluding the interaction.

The Role
As a Care Navigator, you’ll be doing the important, meaningful work of managing crises, providing in-the-moment telephone support to clients with complex behavioral health issues, ensuring client safety, and connecting clients to high-quality, evidence-based providers and facilities. This position does not involve providing in-person services or therapy but instead focuses on supporting clients in connecting to care, exclusively by phone and email.
This role may be for you if you are an excellent written and verbal communicator, an ace at time management, skilled with crisis management, and passionate about connecting individuals to excellent care. It’s important that you’re comfortable adopting new technology platforms and have a growth mindset. We’re all here for the same goal: to improve access to the highest quality mental health care for our clients–when they need it most.
You must be able to work one of the following shift(s):
Tuesday – Saturday: 5:30pm-2am PT (6:30pm-3am MT / 7:30pm-4am CT / 8:30pm-5am ET)

Responsibilities
- A fast-paced, growing company – We move quickly to evolve tools and protocols based on data, so team members are expected to be curious and open to feedback, adapt quickly to new protocols, and make significant contributions to process improvements.
- A team with dynamic roles – we expect our team members to go beyond just casework by providing actionable feedback for internal teams and thinking critically about our care model. Unlike larger companies, we are building the company from the ground up, so we are iterating many processes as we grow – comfort with change is a must!
- Making an impact – over 10 million members are eligible for care through Lyra, and every day we impact the lives of thousands of people by improving access to life-changing mental health care.
Qualifications
Master’s degree in clinical social work or equivalent; LCSW or equivalent independent clinical licensure is required (e.g. LMFT, LPC, LPCC, etc) or a Registered Nurse (RN). We’re unable to provide supervised hours toward licensure. Candidates without a state license to deliver mental health services, independently, will not be considered (with the exception of the RN license)
RNs must have two years of specific behavioral health experience including risk assessment and safety planning.
All other licensures must have two years post license experience (EAP/clinical call center experience preferred)
Significant experience managing high-acuity clinical situations (e.g., active suicidality/homicidality, NSSIB, mandated reporting)
Bilingual, Spanish-speaking candidates strongly preferred (but not required)
