About Affect
Building on our success in substance use disorder care, Affect has expanded its services to include high-quality, accessible mental health treatment. Our model brings together licensed therapists, innovative technology, and a deeply human approach to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges—on their terms.
As we grow, we’re seeking skilled, compassionate licensed mental health professionals to join our remote care team. If you're an Alaska licensed LCSW, LPC, or LMFT looking to make an impact through virtual care, we’d love to connect.
Our ability to provide supervision for non-independent mental health professionals varies by state and license, but we also encourage you to apply. We try to support non-independent licensees when possible.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct diagnostic assessments and collaboratively develop evidence-based treatment plans
- Provide individual psychotherapy sessions via secure telehealth platforms
- Support Members with a wide range of mental health needs, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges with flexibility to work with members with substance use disorders at times.
- Maintain clear and timely clinical documentation in our electronic medical record (EMR) system. Affect provides an AI-powered clinical scribe to assist with documentation, helping reduce administrative burden and allowing clinicians to spend more time focused on member care.
- Coordinate care as needed and contribute to a supportive, multidisciplinary environment

- Adhere to HIPAA and all applicable state licensure regulations
