About addiction therapy for people in Orlando
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 Orlando 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 Orlando
Orlando has a population of about 307,573. 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’s addiction approach matches my needs?
Look at the therapist’s described treatment approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, or family-involved work. Also compare whether they list experience with substance types, dual diagnosis, relapse prevention, or harm-reduction. Choose someone whose stated focus and methods align with your goals and comfort level.
Can these therapists help with both substance use and mental health conditions?
Many therapists who work with addiction also list experience treating co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma. When comparing profiles, check whether they mention dual-diagnosis care, integrated treatment, or coordination with other providers. If you have both addiction and mental health concerns, look for clinicians who explicitly note that combined focus.
What should I ask a therapist about relapse prevention before starting online sessions?
Ask how they approach relapse prevention, what strategies they teach, and whether they include planning for triggers and high-risk situations. Inquire about how they measure progress, involve support people, and coordinate with medical providers if medication-assisted treatment is part of your plan. Use their answers to judge fit and readiness to work with your specific needs.
