About addiction therapy for people in Miami Gardens
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 Miami Gardens 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 Miami Gardens
Miami Gardens has a population of about 111,640. 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 know which therapist has experience with my specific addiction?
Look for therapists who list your substance or behavior as a specialty in their profile. Check for mention of modalities used for addiction, like CBT, motivational interviewing, or relapse prevention. Profiles often note experience with co-occurring mental health issues or stages of recovery. If it isn’t clear, contact the therapist and ask about similar cases they have treated and their typical approach.
Can a Florida-licensed therapist help with both addiction and related mental health issues?
Yes. Many therapists treat addiction alongside co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. When comparing profiles, check whether a therapist lists integrated care or dual-diagnosis experience. Ask how they coordinate care with other providers if you need medication management or in-person services. A Florida licence covers the whole state, so online therapists can work with clients across Florida.
What should I ask during an initial message to a therapist about addiction treatment?
Briefly describe your main concerns and the substance or behavior involved. Ask about their experience with that addiction, the treatment methods they use, typical session structure, and how they address relapse risk. You can also ask about crisis planning and whether they work with other providers. Keep the first message concise so the therapist can respond with relevant information.
