Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Job Overview

Luminary Counseling Solutions—an established and rapidly growing, women-owned group practice in Illinois—is seeking a warm, skilled, and collaborative Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) or Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC/LCPC) to join our team of compassionate clinicians.

We specialize in providing high-quality, relationship-driven therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families. As a practice, we value authenticity, clinical excellence, and creating a supportive, growth-oriented environment for both clients and clinicians.

The ideal candidate is someone who is passionate about making a meaningful impact, confident in their clinical skills, and eager to help shape the future of a flourishing private practice that prioritizes supportive culture and whole-family wellness.

This role focuses on providing outpatient psychotherapy—not medical social work—within a collaborative small-team setting. You will have autonomy, a steady referral stream, and an opportunity to bring or build specialties (pediatrics, family therapy, trauma, etc.) that enhance Luminary's service offerings.

Responsibilities

• Conduct thorough biopsychosocial assessments and diagnostic evaluations using DSM-5 diagnostic standards and evidence-based practices.

• Provide individual, child, teen, and/or family counseling using modalities aligned with your strengths (e.g., CBT, ACT, play therapy, trauma-informed care, family systems, etc.).

• Develop tailored treatment plans that support whole-person wellness, client-centered goals, and Luminary's collaborative approach to care.

• Deliver specialized care based on your areas of expertise—such as child therapy, anxiety disorders, trauma-informed care, parent coaching, or couples/family work.

• Maintain accurate, timely documentation within our EMR system, ensuring alignment with HIPAA, ethical guidelines, and best practice standards.

• Participate in clinical collaboration and consultation with fellow Luminary clinicians to support client progress and clinician development.

• Engage in occasional team meetings, trainings, or case discussions that contribute to Luminary's supportive and connected culture.

• Manage crisis situations appropriately within the outpatient scope, ensuring safety planning and coordinated follow-up.

• Optionally contribute to the growth of the practice by helping shape programming (e.g., child services expansion, workshops, parent groups).

• Participate in ongoing professional development—Luminary encourages training, specialization, and continued clinical learning.

Experience & Qualifications

• Active Illinois licensure: LCSW, LCPC, LPC, or those nearing clinical licensure with strong outpatient experience.

• Demonstrated skill in providing outpatient psychotherapy using evidence-based modalities.

• Experience working with children, teens, families, or adults with a range of presenting concerns (anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral issues, family stress, etc.).

• Comfort and competence with EMR documentation, treatment planning, and diagnostic formulation.

• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build authentic relationships with clients and colleagues.

• Prior outpatient, private-practice, or community mental-health experience preferred (hospital experience is welcome but not required).

• Commitment to ethical care, cultural humility, and Luminary's values of warmth, professionalism, and whole-family support.

• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a supportive team environment.
