About marriage and family therapist 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.

174 therapists match this page, all of whom name marriage and family therapist 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

St. Petersburg has a population of about 258,308. 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

What does it mean when a therapist is an LMFT and how is that different from other licenses?

An LMFT is trained to work with couples, families, and systems rather than only individuals. Expect a focus on relationship patterns, communication, and roles within families. This differs from licenses like LCSW or LPC, which may emphasize individual therapy, but services can overlap. Check each therapist’s listed approaches to see how they apply LMFT training to your needs.

How do I choose among LMFTs when many say they work with couples and families?

Look for specifics: which relationship issues they highlight (infidelity, parenting, blended families), therapeutic approaches (emotionally focused, systemic, Gottman), populations served (teens, adults, older adults), and any notes about working with nontraditional families. Read therapist profiles to match their focus and language with the problems you want to address.

Can I work with an LMFT in St. Petersburg if they’re licensed elsewhere in Florida?

Yes. A Florida license covers the whole state, so therapists licensed in Florida can provide services to clients in St. Petersburg. When comparing profiles, confirm that the therapist notes availability to clients in St. Petersburg and check any listed specialties or therapeutic styles to find a good fit.
