Join Lavni: Build Your Dream Medicaid Practice Without the Headaches
You became a therapist to help people, not to wrestle with insurance companies. But here's the thing, Medicaid clients need you, and there's a massive gap in accessible mental health care across North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia.
What if you could fill your caseload with grateful clients while we handle every single insurance headache? 185+ therapists are already doing exactly that with Lavni.
The Medicaid Opportunity Nobody's Talking About
Most therapy platforms ignore Medicaid entirely. BetterHelp? Nope. Cerebral? Nada. They chase the cash-pay market while millions of people with solid insurance coverage can't find care.
Here's what that means for you:
🎯 Less Competition
While everyone fights over self-pay clients, you're serving an underserved population that desperately needs quality care.
💰 Steady Work
Medicaid provides consistent client flow. No chasing down copays. Your sessions are covered, period.
Dr. Sarah Chen, LCSW in Durham, put it perfectly: "I spent years avoiding Medicaid because I thought it was a billing nightmare. Turns out, when someone else handles that part, it's actually the most rewarding work I do."
We've helped over 5,000 clients across three states get therapy they couldn't access anywhere else. And we're just getting started.
What Working with Lavni Actually Looks Like
Forget everything you think you know about Medicaid billing. Here's how it really works when you join our platform:
We handle 100% of credentialing
No more calling insurance companies. No more waiting months for approval. We get you credentialed with NC Medicaid Direct, Georgia Pathways, and Virginia Medicaid.
Zero billing on your end
Submit your session notes. That's it. We handle claims, follow-ups, denials, everything. You'll never see a billing form.
Your caseload fills fast
Most therapists are fully booked within 2-4 weeks. We have a waiting list of clients who've been searching for months.
Work from anywhere
Your home office, a coffee shop, wherever you're licensed to practice. All sessions are telehealth unless you choose otherwise.
Real Talk: How the Partnership Works
We're not going to throw around vague numbers. Here's the deal: You keep competitive share of what Medicaid pays, which ranges from competitive rates depending on your license level and the state. Most of our full-time therapists see 20-25 clients per week.
You focus on therapy. We handle everything else.
Marcus Thompson, LCMHC in Charlotte, told us: "I was skeptical about the partnership structure until I realized they're handling literally everything except the actual therapy. I spend less time on admin than when I was in private practice dealing with all the business stuff myself."
The Application Process (Surprisingly Simple)
Most therapy platforms make you jump through hoops for months. We don't. Here's the actual timeline:
Week 1
Submit application with your license info. We review within 48 hours and schedule your interview.
Week 2
30-minute video interview with our clinical team. We want to make sure you're a good fit for our client population.
Week 3-4
We handle all credentialing paperwork. You get platform training and start seeing clients.
What we're looking for:
- •Active license in NC, GA, or VA (LCSW, LCMHC, LPC, LMFT all welcome)
- •Experience with diverse populations (this matters for Medicaid clients)
- •Comfortable with telehealth technology
- •Availability for at least 15 hours per week
What we're NOT looking for: Perfect credentials or fancy degrees. We care more about your ability to connect with people who've been let down by the mental health system before.
Why Therapists Stay (It's Not Just the Money)
Here's what our therapists actually tell us keeps them on the platform:
"The clients are incredibly grateful. When someone's been trying to find therapy for six months and you're the first person who says 'yes, your insurance works here,' they show up ready to do the work."
, Dr. Jennifer Martinez, LCSW, Raleigh
"I love that I can focus on being a therapist. No marketing, no billing, no insurance calls. Just therapy."
, David Kim, LCMHC, Atlanta
"The clinical support is real. When I have a complex case, I can actually talk to someone who gets it instead of figuring it out alone."
, Maria Santos, LPC, Virginia Beach
Weekly Performance Bonuses
We reward therapists who build strong caseloads. Bonuses run Monday through Sunday each week:
What else you get as a Lavni therapist:
Plus, you're part of solving a real problem. Mental health coverage is complicated, and most people with Medicaid have no idea what's actually available to them.
You become the person who says "Yes, this is covered" instead of "Sorry, we don't take your insurance."
The Numbers That Matter (Client Demand Is Through the Roof)
Let's be honest about what you're walking into:
People on our waitlist for therapy in NC, GA, and VA
Average time from joining to first client session
Client retention rate after first session
Here's the reality: There aren't enough therapists taking Medicaid. Period.
In North Carolina alone, there's a 6-month average wait for Medicaid mental health services. In rural Georgia? Sometimes a year. Virginia's not much better, especially outside of Northern Virginia and Richmond.
🎯 High-Demand Specialties
We especially need therapists who work with:
- • Teens and young adults (huge demand)
- • Trauma and PTSD (especially for military families)
- • Depression and anxiety
- • ADHD (adult diagnosis is exploding)
- • Couples and family therapy
Don't have these specialties? No problem. General practice therapists fill up just as fast.
The best part? These aren't clients shopping around or price-comparing. They've been searching for months for someone who takes their insurance. When they find you, they stick around.

Questions to Ask Us
Don't just take our word for it. Here are some questions our best therapists asked before joining:
- • What's the average caseload timeline in my area?
- • Can I see the client demographics I'd be working with?
- • How does the clinical support actually work?
- • What happens if I want to reduce my hours or take a break?
- • Can I talk to a current therapist on the platform?
We're looking for 15-20 new therapists over the next two months. Not because we're expanding rapidly, but because client demand keeps growing.
If you're tired of insurance headaches but want to serve people who really need therapy, let's talk.
Questions Therapists Actually Ask About Joining Lavni
Do I need to be credentialed with Medicaid plans before I apply?
Nope. We handle 100% of the credentialing process for you. Just need an active license in NC, GA, or VA and we take care of getting you set up with all the Medicaid plans.
What's the therapist partnership structure at Lavni?
Contact us to learn about our therapist partnership structure. We handle all billing and credentialing so you can focus on therapy.
What if I want to keep my current private practice clients?
Totally fine. Many of our therapists work with us part-time while maintaining their existing practice. You just need to be available for at least 15 hours per week for Lavni clients.
How long does it take to start seeing clients after I'm approved?
Most therapists see their first client within 6 days of joining. We have a waitlist of over 2,100 people, so once you're credentialed and trained, clients are ready to book immediately.
What happens if I have a difficult client or need clinical support?
We have a 24/7 clinical support line for urgent questions, monthly peer consultation groups, and experienced supervisors available for case consultation. You're never handling complex situations alone.
Can I work from home or do I need an office?
You can work from anywhere you're licensed to practice. All sessions are telehealth unless you choose to offer in-person options. Your home office is perfectly fine as long as it's private and professional.
