    LCSW jobs in Alaska: common questions

    Do you need a license to work as a LCSW in Alaska?
    Professional counselor, clinical social work and marital and family therapy licences are issued by separate state boards. Confirm the current position with the Alaska board before you accept a start date, as processing time is the usual cause of a delayed start.
    What is the average LCSW salary in Alaska?
    Federal wage data for Alaska puts the median for mental health and substance abuse social workers at $56,710 a year, with the middle of the market between $46,250 and $85,670 and about 250 people employed in the state (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025). Federal figures cover mental health and substance abuse social workers, which is wider than LCSW-only practice. Advertised pay on the LCSW roles we recruit nationally sits at roughly $62k – $95k, and offers land inside that band according to setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
    Does LCSW pay in Alaska differ from the rest of the US?
    We publish advertised pay on the roles we recruit, not a Alaska average. Across the US those LCSW roles are advertised at roughly $62k – $95k, and where a Alaska offer lands inside that band is driven by setting, caseload and metro cost of living. For an official comparison, Alaska median pay for mental health and substance abuse social workers is $56,710; treat that as a negotiating floor.
    Where are the LCSW jobs in Alaska?
    Small, high-cost market where telehealth and travel contracts do most of the work; relocation and housing support are usually part of the offer. The live LCSW vacancies we hold in Alaska are listed on this page; when nothing is open there today, the national LCSW board carries every role we currently hold.
    Who employs LCSWs in Alaska?
    The employers hiring this credential are community mental health, integrated primary care, hospitals, schools, substance use treatment, telehealth. Which of those dominates in Alaska follows the local funding and provider mix rather than any national pattern, and it is the single biggest driver of what an offer looks like: the same LCSW is priced differently by a center-based provider, a school district and a hospital system.
    What do employers look for when hiring a LCSW in Alaska?
    First, the credential and the right to practise: state clinical licensure (lcsw, licsw, lisw depending on state). Professional counselor, clinical social work and marital and family therapy licences are issued by separate state boards. After that, hiring managers screen on the specifics of the work — caseload size you have carried, the settings you have worked in, supervision responsibility, and documentation or payer experience. Availability matters too: a realistic start date that accounts for board processing usually beats a stronger resume that cannot start.
    What does the salary range on this page actually mean?
    Two different things, kept separate on purpose. $62k – $95k is what LCSW roles we recruit are advertised at across the US — a live market signal, not a survey. The federal figures are official Alaska estimates for mental health and substance abuse social workers: $56,710 median, with $46,250 at the 10th percentile and $85,670 at the 90th. They cover the whole occupation in the state, are published annually and lag the market by roughly a year, so read the median as a negotiating floor rather than a target. Neither number is an offer; where you land inside a range is set by setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
