Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)

About Us

Atlas is built for oncologists by oncologists. We provide practices with the staff, contracts, and toolkit they need to deliver truly whole person care to their cancer patients. Our value-based approach to care delivery aligns incentives, offering patients better outcomes, payors guaranteed reduction in medical expense, and provider partners greater financial independence.

The Role

At Atlas Oncology Partners, we believe compassionate, psychosocial care is just as essential as medical treatment in supporting patients with cancer. We are seeking a dedicated Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) to provide counseling and emotional support to patients and their families throughout the cancer care continuum.

As a small nimble team, this role will also support care navigation duties to provide resource connection throughout the cancer treatment journey.

Responsibilities include, but not limited to, the following:

• Provide individual, family, and group counseling to address emotional distress, anxiety, depression, grief, and adjustment to illness
• Deliver crisis intervention and short-term supportive counseling as needed
• Conduct comprehensive psychosocial assessments and develop individualized care plans
• Use evidence-based therapeutic modalities (e.g., CBT, ACT, supportive psychotherapy) tailored to oncology patients
• Support decision-making around treatment, survivorship, and end-of-life care
• Collaborate with oncology providers, nurses, navigators, and behavioral health team members to ensure whole-person care
• Participate in multidisciplinary case reviews, tumor boards, and team rounds
• Educate patients and caregivers on coping strategies, stress management, and mental wellness
• Facilitate or support group interventions, workshops, or wellness initiatives for patients and families
• Document all patient interactions and interventions in the EMR clearly, accurately, and in a timely manner
• Ensure compliance with all ethical, licensure, and regulatory standards
• Engage in continuing education and participate in quality improvement initiatives
• Support care navigation requests for patients
