Description
Job Description:
Leidos is looking for a Licensed Counselor to support the Camp
Pendleton, California.
A career of purpose-serving our nation's military children and
families-is open for you, an empathetic, supportive and
motivational licensed counselor who can proactively help military
service members and their families overcome common challenges such
as deployment, frequent relocation, job stress and life away from
home.
Leidos partners with the Department of Defense's (DoD's) Military
and Family Life Counseling (MFLC) Program to provide highly
confidential counseling services and support to military service
members and their families. Non-medical counseling is preventive in
nature and aims to address and solve issues before they become more
harmful problems.
Many people like you, who have behavioral or mental health
experience, are finding satisfaction in the non- medical counseling
profession. Your education and experience can more effectively help
people navigate life's challenges when you're not spending long
hours completing billing and documentation, filing paperwork or
sitting at a desk all day. The MFLC model emphasizes simple and
easy documentation used for reporting activity only:
No long narratives to generate
No insurance to file
No progress notes
No treatment plans
Along with job satisfaction, you will be a part of the force of
counseling excellence that makes a meaningful difference for U.S.
Service Members and their families! Counselors play a vital role in
helping service members and their families get the support they
truly need. Military service members and their families face unique
emotional and environmental challenges due to the stress of
military life. This is an opportunity for you to support where and
when you are most needed.
Build support coalitions with important military support systems
such as Family Readiness, Family Advocacy, Exceptional Family
Member Program and more.
Promote skill-building, readiness and resilience through approved,
evidence-based materials and tools that instill capabilities for
better health and wellness.
Give presentations and briefings to service members and military
leadership at military-connected community events.
Build rapport with military families through community outreach
that creates awareness about the importance of counseling
services.
Provide support for military service members returning from
deployment with reintegration to civilian life and reunion with
their families.
Become an integral part of the military leadership community that
shapes our nation's future. Many MFLCs receive military honors and
awards as a gesture of appreciation for the value they bring!
Counseling services are generally preventive in nature and address
topics such as living conditions, life skills, relationships at
home and work, stress management, adjustment issues, marital
problems, parenting, fear, grief, loss and much more. Our

high-risk behaviors and assist in referral for ongoing treatment
and support.
Responsibilities include:
Visibility at assigned installations conducting face-to-face
counseling to military service members and their families.
Recommending appropriate referrals and handoffs based on your
experienced differential clinical skills to military and community
resources according to the needs of military service members and
their families.

programs and materials.

installation to Team Leads.

activities as assigned.

Enjoy centralized support through a Counseling Center of Excellence
that provides best practices, expert speakers, state-of-the-art
resources, and evidence-based research that allow MFLC counselors
to spend less time on administration and more time with their
participants.

academic institutions allow you to work on new and emerging trends
such as public health-based intervention models and optimization of
the behavioral healthcare continuum.
