About depression 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.
2,162 therapists match this page, all of whom name depression 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
How do I choose between therapists who treat depression?
Look at each therapist’s stated approaches, years of experience with depressive disorders, and any specific populations they list. Consider whether you want short-term symptom-focused work or longer-term therapy. You can also compare whether they mention collaboration with prescribers, experience with co-occurring anxiety or trauma, and their communication style to find a fit.
What kinds of depression do therapists on this page commonly treat?
Many therapists who treat depression list experience with major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), postpartum depression, and situational or adjustment-related depression. Some note experience with treatment-resistant symptoms, bipolar-spectrum considerations, or depression that co-occurs with anxiety, trauma, or substance use.
Can I work with someone from Fort Lauderdale if they are licensed in another Florida city?
Yes. A Florida licence covers the whole state, so therapists licensed anywhere in Florida can work with clients in Fort Lauderdale. The key factors are the therapist’s licensure status in Florida and their stated experience with depression, rather than the city listed on their profile.
