Registered Dietitian – Remote Counseling

IMPORTANT:

Job Description:

Before applying, please read the entire job post carefully and note the following requirements:

Location: You must reside in California. This is not related to where you hold licensure.

Experience: We require at least two years of direct, patient-facing counseling experience, ideally in a private practice or healthcare setting where you independently managed a broad range of Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) conditions and used a structured, long-term behavior change approach.

Schedule: This is a remote, full-time role (8am–5pm local time) with a caseload of 32 patient sessions per week. You will gradually build your schedule over a 2–4 week ramp-up period until reaching full caseload.

Compensation: Compensation is structured on a per-session basis for a full-time caseload of 32 sessions per week.

Role Overview

Everlong is seeking a fully remote Registered Dietitian with strong expertise in Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) and a deep focus on behavior change counseling. In this role, you will provide ongoing, outpatient nutrition counseling for adults with a wide range of Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) conditions, including weight management, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, gut health, metabolic disorders, and women’s health. This also includes supporting patients with challenges related to their relationship with food, such as emotional eating and chronic dieting patterns.

Your primary focus will be helping patients create sustainable, long-term change by addressing the behavioral, emotional, and psychological drivers of eating. You will use evidence-based counseling strategies to help patients build awareness, shift patterns, and develop practical habits that fit into real life.

This is a highly relational and structured clinical role. You will be part of a collaborative team environment where case discussion, shared learning, and ongoing refinement of counseling approach are central to how we operate. While you manage your own caseload, you are supported by a team that is actively engaged in improving how we deliver behavior-change care.

You will work with motivated patients balancing demanding careers, family life, and personal health goals. Many are seeking to improve their relationship with food, build consistency, and feel more confident in their day-to-day choices. Your role is to help them translate insight into action and create lasting change that extends beyond the counseling session.

Who We Are: Team, Culture, & Training

Our team is fully remote and highly collaborative, working closely together in a structured and supportive environment. While each dietitian manages their own caseload, you are never practicing in isolation. We prioritize case discussion and shared learning so that dietitians can grow together and feel supported in complex cases.

Training at Everlong is continuous and embedded into the role. We focus heavily on real-world clinical skill development, especially in behavior change counseling, motivational interviewing, accountability frameworks, and long-term care planning. Rather than treating training as a separate or finite phase, we view it as an ongoing process of refinement, feedback, and clinical growth.

Beyond clinical skills, we place a strong emphasis on elevating how dietitians think, communicate, and support behavior change over time. Our approach is grounded in helping dietitians become highly effective at identifying patterns, addressing emotional and behavioral drivers of eating, and translating evidence-based strategies into practical, sustainable patient outcomes.

We place a strong emphasis on clarity, accountability, and professional growth. Expectations are clearly defined, and we provide consistent structure and feedback so dietitians can feel confident in their work and continue to improve over time. The culture is fast-paced and outcomes-driven, but grounded in collaboration and a shared commitment to helping patients create lasting change.

Who You Are

We are looking for a confident, outcomes-driven Registered Dietitian who thrives on helping patients create lasting, meaningful changes in their health. You take a direct, pragmatic approach to Medical Nutrition Therapy, using evidence-based behavior-change strategies to address the emotional, psychological, and behavioral drivers of eating, not just the food itself.

You are experienced in private practice or healthcare settings and have managed a diverse range of nutrition needs with a structured, effective approach. You are comfortable navigating complex behavior change work and enjoy helping patients identify patterns, build insight, and translate that into sustainable action.

You are equally strong in accountability and connection, able to set clear expectations with patients while maintaining a supportive, trusting relationship that keeps them engaged in long-term care.

You value collaboration, case discussion, and continuous learning, and you want to be part of a team that is actively refining how we support behavior change together.

If you are committed to delivering lasting impact through personalized, behavior-focused care and want to grow within a structured, highly collaborative clinical environment, you will thrive on our team.
