About anxiety therapy for people in St. Petersburg
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 St. Petersburg can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.
2,396 therapists match this page, all of whom name anxiety 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 St. Petersburg

Common questions
Can I find therapists here who specialize in panic attacks and social anxiety?
Yes. This directory highlights therapists who list panic attacks, social anxiety, and related concerns among their specialties. Compare descriptions to see who emphasizes exposure work, panic management techniques, or social skills training. Read each listing to learn which therapists focus on the specific anxiety issues you want help with.
How do I choose between therapists who use CBT versus other approaches for anxiety?
Look at what each therapist says about their treatment methods and goals. CBT often targets thought patterns and behaviors linked to anxiety. Other approaches like ACT, mindfulness, or psychodynamic work may focus on values, acceptance, or deeper patterns. Choose the approach that matches how you want to work and the pace you prefer.
If I start online therapy from St. Petersburg, does my therapist need a Florida licence?
Yes. Therapists available to clients in St. Petersburg in this directory hold a Florida licence, which covers the whole state. That means you can receive online care while in St. Petersburg without concern about out-of-state licensure for the clinicians listed here.
