Resume tips for licensed clinical social workers

  • If you hold the clinical license, make it impossible to miss. Many postings screen for LCSW specifically.
  • List every state you are licensed in. Multi-state licensure is a real advantage for telehealth roles.
  • Name your treatment approaches, like CBT or EMDR. Employers search for them as keywords.
  • Give a caseload number. Clients per week tells an employer more than any adjective.
  • Separate clinical work from case management. If you want therapy roles, lead with assessment and treatment work and keep care coordination shorter.
  • Include your documentation systems and your telehealth setup. Both come up in the first screen.
