About addiction therapy for people in Fort Lauderdale
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 in Fort Lauderdale can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.
1,149 therapists match this page, all of whom name addiction 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.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale has a population of about 182,760. Local in-person availability varies and waiting lists are common, which is part of why state-wide online practice has grown. Nothing on this page depends on a therapist being near you.
Common questions
Can I get help for alcohol or drug problems from an online therapist listed here?
Yes. The therapists listed work with various substance use issues, including alcohol and drugs. When comparing providers, check their stated specialties and treatment approaches to see who lists experience with the specific substance or pattern of use you’re concerned about. Also look for mentions of relapse prevention and collaboration with other healthcare providers if needed.
How do I choose a therapist who understands addiction and recovery needs?
Look for therapists who list addiction or substance use disorder among their specialties, and who describe evidence-based approaches such as motivational interviewing, CBT, or relapse prevention. Consider whether they have experience with co-occurring mental health conditions, family involvement, or specific populations (young adults, veterans, LGBTQ+). Read profiles to match therapeutic style and goals.
Will a therapist on this list work with support networks like families or 12-step programs?
Many addiction therapists offer family sessions or coordinate with external support resources, but practices vary. Check each therapist’s profile for references to family work, support-network involvement, or experience integrating community programs. Contact the therapist directly to discuss how they work with loved ones and outside supports before beginning sessions.
