From Therapy to Tech: How I Transformed My LCSW License

Social work career transitions can be difficult. In this video, I talk about how I landed a tech role after being a therapist/LCSW for over 13 years. There are three main things that helped me make this shift, and I discuss them in this video. Use relationship skills to execute a successful career pivot without submitting endless job applications. Learn how to bypass traditional hiring. Many professionals assume that a career pivot requires updating a resume and filling out digital applications. This video demonstrates why relationship skills are often more effective than standard hiring processes. If you are tired of the traditional job search, this approach offers a realistic alternative that prioritizes direct connections over cold applications. Developing strong networking strategies allows you to create opportunities that do not exist on job boards. I explain how I navigated a significant career change by focusing entirely on people rather than paperwork. This method is for anyone looking to build a sustainable professional network that generates leads organically. Whether you are currently employed or seeking a new path, mastering relationship skills can change how you approach your professional growth. By focusing on genuine interactions, you can get hired without applying through standard portals. If you are a therapist and looking for support with your Pivot, consider joining The Founders Table.
