Finding the right therapist in Florida does not have to mean limiting yourself to whoever is closest. This page helps you explore therapists who are licensed in Florida and offer online care, so you can compare options across the state and focus on fit, not just distance. Whether you are in Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, the Panhandle, or a smaller community, telehealth can open up more choices. You can narrow the list using filters for specialty, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and whether you are looking for a therapist, medication management, or both

“Teens, young adults and adults”
“I have over fifteen years experience in working with children, adolescents, their families, and adults with various mental health disorders. In addition, I am committed to working with individuals presenting with body image and self-esteem issues, individuals being challenged by life transitions, individuals who are impacted and/or affected by stress and burnout and those who would like to engage in inner child healing.”
“Whether you’re dealing with the impacts of trauma, grief, relationships, life change and transition, anxiety, depression, gender-specific issues, or a general feeling of disconnect from yourself or others, therapy can be a place where you’re supported in making sense of what’s happening and creating room for something different. Therapy with me is relational, grounded, and genuine, with attention given to who you are as a whole person because I also believe it’s a space where we can make room for depth, humor, discomfort, and humanness.”
“I work primarily with men who have spent years striving, achieving, or taking care of everyone else while feeling increasingly disconnected from themselves. Many have tried traditional approaches to self-improvement but continue to feel stuck in old emotional patterns, anxiety, relationship struggles, or the effects of unresolved trauma. My work combines EMDR, somatic therapy, and mindfulness with the principles of Effortless Mindfulness and nondual awareness. Rather than teaching you to become someone new, therapy helps you release what has been keeping you from the ease, clarity, and wholeness that are already present. I also work with meditators, spiritually curious individuals, and fellow therapists who want to integrate deep psychological healing with contemplative practice. Couples seeking a more honest, connected relationship are welcome. Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating a major life transition, or longing to feel more at home in yourself, therapy offers a space where both psychological healing and inner awakening.”
“Saumya works with a wide range of life experiences including: depression, grief, shame, women's issues, transitions, burnout, and the struggle to love the body one lives in.”
“Families, couples, elderly across State lines.”
“Tired of treating your depression only to feel like something is still missing? If you feel completely stuck because your medications aren't working, aren't working enough, or just don't feel right, you are not alone. I help adults and teens (10+) who feel exhausted by a chaotic emotional roller coaster—constantly battling a cycle of trying to keep up, only to crash into deep burnout, despair, and heavy brain fog. Together, we tackle lows that standard treatments just won't touch. Trouble Focusing: Feeling disconnected, scatterbrained, or like your focus is gone. Invisible Anxiety: A heavy, baseline worry that makes no logical sense. Medication Fatigue: Chasing higher doses without finding real relief. Let’s take a fresh, cautious look at your diagnosis to figure out what is truly driving your symptoms. Handling this is key to getting the most out of therapy.”
“Anxiety, life adjustment, depression, relationship issues”
“I work with Adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I specialize in divorce and custody cases.”
“Couples and individuals seeking systemic relationship therapy”
“I work with individuals ages 18+ who struggle with trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, relationships, grief, and more.”
“At our practice, our goal is to provide you with thoughtful, personalized care that truly reflects your individual needs. We believe your voice matters, and we want you to feel comfortable speaking openly about how medications affect you—both the positives and any concerns. Your experience and feedback help guide treatment decisions, because your well-being is always our top priority. We strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. Our approach is collaborative, meaning we work *with* you, not just for you, and we remain flexible as your needs evolve. If something doesn’t feel right, we adjust together. We encourage you to share your preferences and advocate for what you feel works best, because the best outcomes happen when care is built on trust and partnership.”
Online therapy can be a practical fit in Florida when convenience matters, but so does choice. Maybe you want a provider outside your immediate area, you are trying to avoid long drives or traffic, or you need care that still works during storm season, travel, or a packed weekly schedule. Telehealth can make it easier to keep appointments consistent while comparing providers based on experience, style, language, and cost instead of office location alone. It can also help if you need evening availability, want to include a partner or family member from another location, or are searching for a specialist who may not practice nearby. That can be especially helpful if you live in a smaller community, split time between homes, or need more scheduling flexibility. As you compare options, look at session times, insurance and private-pay rates, cancellation policies, and what happens if you travel out of state for work, school, or part of the year. You can use the official resources below to verify licenses or find extra support if needed
Start with the filters that matter most to you right now. You might begin with the issue you want help with, then narrow by age group, language, therapy modality, insurance, and whether you want therapy, medication management, or both. Once you have a shorter list, read profiles for how each provider works, not just their credentials. Look for things like their style, availability, session format, and experience with the concerns you want help with. It can also help to save two or three strong options and compare them before reaching out.
Ask questions that help you picture what working together would actually feel like. You might ask whether they help with your specific concern, whether they work with your age group or relationship type, what the first few sessions are usually like, how often they recommend meeting, and what they charge with insurance or private pay. It is also smart to ask about cancellation policies, between-session communication, and what happens if you travel.
Not necessarily. What matters most is whether your provider is allowed to treat you in the state where you are physically located during the session. In Florida, that usually means the provider is licensed in Florida or registered to provide out-of-state telehealth services there. If you travel to another state, your Florida provider may not be able to keep seeing you unless they are also allowed to practice in that state. That is why it helps to ask about vacations, work travel, college moves, and snowbird schedules before you start. If you split time between states, see Find a Therapist Licensed in Multiple States. The official Florida telehealth link is also included in the resources below.
Depending on the provider, you may be able to find individual therapy, child or teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, and testing and evaluations. Availability depends on the provider, your needs, and how well that service can be offered online. Some evaluations or higher-support needs may involve a hybrid approach or an in-person follow-up.
Yes. You can use the directory filters to look for medication management providers. Medication management is usually focused on evaluation, prescribing, refill planning, side effects, and checking whether a medication is helping. Therapy is more focused on emotions, patterns, coping skills, behavior change, and relationships. Some prescribers also offer supportive therapy, but many focus only on medication. If you need controlled substances prescribed, check with the provider before booking to make sure they can offer that through telehealth, since additional restrictions may apply.
A good first step is the 988 Florida Lifeline if you are in crisis or need immediate emotional support. For ongoing lower-cost services, Florida 211 can help connect you with local programs, and the Florida Department of Children and Families’ regional Managing Entities can help you find publicly funded behavioral health care. If you need an urgent in-person crisis response, Florida’s Mobile Response Teams are available statewide through 211. If you have Medicaid, your Medicaid plan may also be a good place to start for covered behavioral health care. National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Florida can also be helpful for free education and support groups. You can find the official links in the resources below.
Use the profession-specific board links in the resources below. Each official board site includes a license verification search. The Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling covers clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, and mental health counselors. The Florida Board of Psychology covers psychologists. The Florida Board of Nursing covers advanced practice registered nurses, including psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners. The Florida Board of Medicine covers medical doctors and physician assistants, and the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine covers osteopathic physicians. Those official pages are the best place to confirm license status and review public discipline information.
Often, yes, but it depends on your plan and the provider. Before you book, ask whether the provider is in network, what your copay or deductible may be, whether there is a private-pay rate, and whether they can give you a superbill if they are out of network. Some providers also offer sliding-scale spots. If you use Medicaid, check your plan’s behavioral health network and the official Florida Medicaid resources below.
For most online therapy appointments, it is best to meet from a secure location with privacy and a reliable internet connection. A computer or laptop is usually ideal, though a phone or tablet may also work depending on the provider and platform. Most sessions happen by video, but depending on the provider and service, phone calls, texting, secure messaging, or email may also be part of telehealth or follow-up communication. Many providers also have their own policies about where sessions can take place, so it is best to check ahead of time if privacy or location may be an issue.
Yes. Online therapy can make life easier if traffic, long drives, bridges, or limited local options make in-person care harder to keep up with. It can also help during hurricane season, heavy storms, school breaks, tourist traffic, or if you split time between Florida and another state. The main thing to plan ahead for is your location on the day of the session, since your provider usually needs to be able to see you in the state where you are physically located.
Online therapy may not be the best fit if you are in immediate crisis, need emergency support, require a higher level of care, or do not have a private space for sessions. In those situations, in-person services or local crisis resources may be more appropriate. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline right away.
