- A document missing?
- Apply anyway. The team contacts you about anything missing, and you can add it later through an onboarding link sent to you.
- Licenses with active cases
- You cannot remove a license, or move it to another state, while you have active cases for clients there; the support team handles those changes.
What Remote ESA and PSD Evaluation Work Looks Like
Each case is an online evaluation of one client in a state where your license is on file and current. You hold at least one live telehealth session with the client, by phone or video, and you decide whether an ESA or PSD letter is clinically appropriate.
The words you write are the words the client receives, under your name and license. The ASA team handles intake, scheduling tools, documents and payments.
-
Stage 1
A case from your licensed state
Cases reach approved clinicians only in states where their license is on file and not expired. You see the client's intake, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 answers and any documents they added.
-
Stage 2
A live session by phone or video
Before any letter is finalized, you hold at least one live telehealth session with the client, by phone or video as you both agree, and you can schedule more.
-
Stage 3
Your clinical decision
If an ESA or PSD letter is clinically appropriate, you write and sign it under your license for the client's state. If not, you deny it with a reason, and no one at ASA may overrule you.
Tools in Your Dashboard
- A digital signature you draw or upload, saved to your profile for new letters
- Your own letterhead, with a separate one and a credential footer for each licensed state
- Private messages with each client, with file attachments
- An appointments page for video, phone or in-person sessions
- A profile where you add licenses and set phone, video or both as your preference
How You Are Paid
- A per-case rate for ESA cases and one for PSD cases, recorded during onboarding
- Paid for each case you completed whose customer paid in full
- An Earnings page with your totals, each case's status and every payout slip
- Payouts by bank transfer (ACH), Wise, Mercury, Stripe or an international bank account

- An administrative check, not a clinical one
- After you complete a case, the ASA team checks only that the file is in order, such as names, plan and formatting. Anything that touches clinical substance goes back to you.
- Edit or withdraw later
- You can edit your documentation from the case view at any time, replace any suggested wording with your own, or ask to pull a completed letter back to reconsider it.
- Built-in video sessions
- As of November 2026, ASA is piloting video sessions inside the appointments page with selected clinicians. Your profile records whether you prefer phone, video or both.
- When a payment counts
- Your Earnings page shows a case as waiting until the customer's payment is in. A later refund or chargeback can be offset against future payouts.
- Payout slips you can check
- Each payout has a tracking number and a QR code that confirms the slip is genuine, and you can save it as a PDF.
- Protected payout details
- Your bank and payout details are stored encrypted, and once saved you see only the last four characters of an account number.
- No set number of cases
- The agreement promises no number of cases or level of income. Routing depends on client demand, your licensed states, your availability, your workload and your response times.
- Records after you leave
- If your participation ends, ASA gives you continued access to, or a secure export of, the records of the cases you completed, on reasonable request.
How to Join: Four Steps to Your First Case
You apply online, the ASA team verifies your license, you sign the therapist agreement in your dashboard, and once you are approved, cases can be assigned in your licensed states.
-
Apply online
Complete the five-part form: personal details, licenses, credential uploads, practice details and your account. There is no fee, and an email confirms your application reference.
-
Credential review
The ASA team verifies your licenses and documents. The confirmation email says this typically takes 1 to 2 business days, and if anything is missing, you get a link to add it.
-
Sign the agreement
The first time you open your dashboard, you sign the Therapist–ASA Relationship Agreement by typing your full legal name. It is one time, and you can read it before you apply.
-
Your first case
Approval brings an activation email. Add your payout details and telehealth preference, and cases can then be assigned to you in the states where you are licensed.
Questions Therapists Ask Before Applying
Short answers for licensed clinicians, as of November 2026.
Not answered here? Email support@americanserviceanimals.com before you apply.
Is this remote, work-from-home therapist work?
Yes. You review each case in an online dashboard and hold the live session with the client by phone or video, so the work does not depend on an office. You still need a license for the state where each client lives.
Which licenses can apply?
Licensed mental health professionals can apply. The application lists LPC, LMFT, LCSW, LMHC, LCMHC, LPCC and licensed psychologist (LP), and an Other option takes any other mental health license you hold. The license must be active and in good standing.
Can I see clients across state lines?
Only in states where you hold a license. Each case is matched to the client's state, and the letter is issued under your license for that state, so you add one license per state to take clients there.
How are cases assigned?
By license state and capacity. A case goes only to an approved clinician whose license for the client's state is on file and not expired, and who is under their open-case limit. The agreement does not guarantee any number of cases.
Can I decline a client or deny a letter?
Yes. You can decline or withdraw from any case and ask for it to be reassigned, and you deny a letter whenever the client does not meet the clinical threshold. The agreement says you are never penalized for either, and no one at ASA may push you toward an outcome.
How and when am I paid?
Per completed case. You earn your agreed per-case rate for each case you completed whose customer paid in full, and payouts follow the platform's payout schedule. Each payout appears on your Earnings page with a payout slip and goes to the method you choose: bank transfer (ACH), Wise, Mercury, Stripe or an international bank account.
Is this a W-2 job or independent work?
Independent work. The agreement says you take part as an independent licensed professional, not as an ASA employee, and that your tax obligations and professional liability insurance are your own responsibility. It does not stop you from keeping your own practice.
Do I need malpractice insurance?
The application does not require proof of it. You can upload a malpractice policy as an optional document, and under the agreement, professional liability insurance is your own responsibility.
