About grief therapy for people in Melbourne
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 Melbourne can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.
1,552 therapists match this page, all of whom name grief 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 Melbourne
Melbourne has a population of about 84,678. 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 a grief therapist from this list?
Look for therapists who mention bereavement or loss in their specialties. Compare the therapy approaches they use, such as CBT, narrative therapy, or meaning‑centered work. Check who they work with—young adults, older adults, parents—and any specific experiences like sudden loss or long-term caregiving grief. Contact a few to ask about their experience and approach to see who feels like the best fit.
Can online grief therapy help with complicated or prolonged grief?
Online grief therapy can address a range of grief reactions, including complicated or prolonged grief, depending on the therapist’s training and experience. Look for clinicians who list specific approaches for complex grief and who describe outcomes or populations they work with. Ask prospective therapists about their experience with prolonged grief and what kinds of interventions they typically use.
What should I ask a Florida‑licensed therapist before starting grief work?
Ask about their experience with grief and loss, the therapeutic approaches they use, and how they support clients through different stages of bereavement. Inquire whether they have experience with issues like sudden deaths, anticipatory grief, or loss after illness. Also ask about session structure, what to expect in early sessions, and how they measure progress in grief therapy.
