Family Therapists Licensed in Florida

This page is for people in Florida looking for online therapists who work with families. Use it if you want help with parenting conflicts, blended family adjustment, co-parenting after separation, or improving family communication. Compare therapists’ stated specialties, approaches, experience with specific family situations, and whether they list family or couples therapy. A Florida licence covers the whole state, so a therapist’s stated availability to clients in your city is what matters rather than any physical office location.

About family therapy in Florida

Everyone listed on this page holds a licence to practise in Florida and works online. That matters more than it sounds: a licence is issued by the state, not by a city, so a therapist is available to anyone in Florida regardless of how far away they are. Someone outside a major metro can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.

1,570 therapists match this page, all of whom name family among the areas they work with. Fifteen are shown above. The list changes between pages, so it is worth looking at more than one if none of these feels like a fit.

What to compare

  • Credential. LMHC, LCSW and LMFT are different training routes to licensed practice in Florida, all overseen by the Florida Department of Health's Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling. None outranks the others; they shape emphasis rather than quality.
  • Years in practice. Shown for every therapist here. More experience is not automatically better, but it is a fair proxy for how much of a given problem someone has seen.
  • What else they work with. A therapist whose other focus areas overlap with your situation is usually a better starting point than one whose listed areas stop at the single thing you searched for.
  • Approach. CBT, psychodynamic, solution-focused and the rest describe how sessions tend to run. If you have tried therapy before and it did not suit you, changing approach is often more useful than changing therapist.
  • Language. Shown where a therapist offers sessions in more than English.

How online sessions work

Sessions run by video or by messaging, arranged through our partner platform rather than booked directly with the therapist. There is no travel and no waiting room, which for most people is the difference between starting and not starting. Pricing is set by the platform and shown before you commit.

Common questions

Can an online therapist licensed in Florida help with issues involving children and parents?

Yes. Many therapists who work with families offer support for parent-child relationships, behavior concerns, and communication strategies. Ask therapists about their experience with the child’s age range and whether they include parenting skills, family sessions, or separately seen members when designing a treatment plan.

How do I choose a therapist for blended family or stepfamily challenges?

Look for therapists who list blended families, stepfamily dynamics, or remarriage challenges among their specialties. Compare descriptions of their approach to roles, boundaries, and step-parenting. You may also want therapists who note experience with co-parenting agreements and helping families build new routines and shared expectations.

What should I compare when evaluating therapists who offer family therapy online across Florida?

Compare stated specialties (family, couples, parenting), therapeutic approaches (e.g., structural, emotionally focused, CBT), experience with your specific issue, and how they describe working with multiple family members. Also check whether they mention age ranges served and any session formats involving whole-family, parent-only, or separate sessions.
