About addiction therapy for people in Jacksonville

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 Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville

Jacksonville has a population of about 949,611. 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 a Florida-licensed addiction therapist help with both substance use and co-occurring mental health issues?

Yes. Many therapists list dual experience treating substance use and co-occurring disorders like anxiety or depression. On this page, compare therapists’ stated specializations and treatment approaches to find clinicians who mention integrated care, trauma-informed work, or experience addressing both addiction and mental health together.

How do I choose between therapists who use different addiction treatment approaches?

Look at each therapist’s described methods—such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, contingency management, or twelve-step–informed approaches—and consider what fits your preferences and history. Read profiles for mentions of harm reduction, abstinence-based care, or relapse prevention to match your goals and values before reaching out.

Are these therapists able to work with clients in Jacksonville even if they are licensed elsewhere in Florida?

Yes. A Florida licence covers the whole state, so therapists licensed in Florida can provide services to clients in Jacksonville. This directory lists clinicians available to Jacksonville residents; you do not need a therapist to be physically present in the city to receive online care from them.
