Sample interview questions
How do you assess a new member's readiness for substance use treatment and determine an appropriate level of care?

I use a structured intake process that reviews substance-use history, withdrawal and safety risks, mental-health needs, recovery supports, motivation, and functional stability. I combine validated screening tools with clinical judgment, document the rationale clearly, and consult the clinical team when a higher level of care or referral is indicated.

How do you build therapeutic rapport with members during telehealth counseling?

I establish expectations for privacy, communication, and session structure at the start of care. I use active listening, motivational interviewing, empathy, and consistent follow-through, while checking that the member has a confidential environment and can safely participate.

Describe how you would respond to a member experiencing a crisis during a remote session.

I would remain calm, complete an immediate safety assessment, identify the member's location and available supports, and follow the organization’s crisis protocol. Depending on risk, I would coordinate emergency services, warm referrals, supervisor consultation, and prompt documentation of all actions taken.

What practices help you maintain accurate and compliant EMR documentation?

I document promptly after each interaction using objective, clinically relevant language and approved templates. I include assessment findings, interventions, member response, care-plan updates, referrals, and follow-up actions while protecting minimum necessary information under HIPAA.

How do you balance independent clinical work with collaboration in a fast-paced startup environment?

I prioritize caseload tasks, use clear documentation and communication channels, and escalate issues that require supervisory or multidisciplinary input. I work independently within my scope while actively seeking consultation for risk, complex treatment decisions, and process improvements.
