Each sample uses the CAR + Callout method: outcome up front, then Challenge → Action → Result. The structure that makes recruiters slow down — and converts directly into STAR interview answers.

LCSW / LMSW

Pre-licensed (LMSW + supervision hours) through independently-licensed (LCSW). Modality stacks (CBT, DBT, EMDR, TF-CBT), population specialty (peds, geri, perinatal, SUD).

CAR + Callout sample bullet
Carried a 28-client panel with 12 trauma cases (TF-CBT primary modality) over 18 months as an LMSW under LCSW supervision — closed 19 of 28 with measurable PCL-5 reduction; 2 cases referred for EMDR after meeting trauma-stabilization criteria.
LPC / LPCC / LMHC

State-board-specific licensure (LPC, LPCC, LMHC, LCMHC). Group-practice and CMHC settings. Modality + population stack.

CAR + Callout sample bullet
Reduced no-show rate from 22% to 9% across a 35-client panel at a private group practice over 9 months — implemented same-day-cancellation policy with reschedule incentive, paired with brief MI-style engagement protocol at intake.
LMFT / MFT

Couples + family work. Systemic modality fluency (Bowen, Gottman, EFT, structural). State-specific licensure path.

CAR + Callout sample bullet
Completed 184 EFT-trained couples sessions over 14 months at a private practice — 71% of couples completed the 8-step EFT protocol; 12 couples referred for individual trauma work after stage-2 completion.
Case Manager / Care Coordinator

ICM, ACT-team, CMHC, CCBHC, hospital-system care management. Insurance navigation, SDOH connection, crisis-plan development.

CAR + Callout sample bullet
Maintained a 42-client ICM caseload with 14 ACT-eligible high-acuity members over 24 months — reduced ED-utilization 38% across the cohort, no inpatient psych admissions in 9 of 14 high-acuity cases for the trailing 12 months.
Telehealth-only / panel-paneled

Headway, Alma, SonderMind, Grow Therapy, BetterHelp. Multi-state licensure, credentialing-with-payer (CAQH), online-only practice mechanics.

CAR + Callout sample bullet
Built a 60-client telehealth-only practice across 4 state licenses (NY, NJ, FL, CA) within 14 months on Headway + private pay — averaged 32 sessions/week sustained over 12 months at 91% panel utilization.
