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

“Adults 21 years of age and older. Individuals and Couples Counseling.”
“I work with questioning or late identified "high masking" Autistic and/or ADHDer adult clients in Texas and most states in the US via online individual, couples, & group therapy, from a strengths-based and neurodivergent affirming approach. I also specialize in helping therapists and those who have experienced narcissistic abuse.”
“You may seem to have it all together while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or worn out inside. Perhaps you’re the strong one for everyone else, struggling to set boundaries or make room for your own needs. You may be navigating change, grieving a loss, feeling out of place, or finding that painful experiences still affect your daily life. Medical or dental experiences may also leave you fearful of seeking care. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can speak honestly without having to explain everything perfectly. Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck, make sense of your experiences, and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded and connected. If faith matters to you, we can include it in ways that honor your beliefs. You don’t have to carry it all alone.”
“I find particular effectiveness in clients who are: insight-oriented or curious about their internal world; ready to examine long-standing relational patterns; motivated to shift from survival-based coping to intentional living; and open to both reflective work and structured interventions.”
“I’m Christina Duncan, LCSW, and I provide compassionate, client-centered therapy for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with a warm, collaborative style, creating a safe and supportive space for clients of all ages. I tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs, including strengths-based support for neurodivergent clients, helping build practical coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and deepen self-understanding. I’m committed to fostering growth, resilience, and lasting well-being in a nonjudgmental environment.”
“I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and difficulties with focus or motivation. I also support individuals navigating trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, and those exploring whether medication, therapy, or a combination of both may best support their mental health goals.”
“I work primarily with adults who are navigating ADHD, Autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, chronic illness, life transitions, relationship concerns, identity exploration, and executive functioning challenges. I also welcome clients who may not have a formal diagnosis but feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward.”
“I work with adults and couples navigating infertility, pregnancy and postpartum transitions, grief and loss, chronic illness, trauma, relationship challenges, and other major life transitions. I especially support women and couples who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward while balancing their relationships, emotional well-being, and changing circumstances. I also work with couples who want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and reconnect.”
“Many of my clients may look successful on the outside but feel stuck in the same painful patterns underneath. They find themselves overthinking relationships, questioning their worth, people-pleasing, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, and disconnection. They know something needs to change, but they're not sure how to get there. For over 18 years, I've helped individuals understand the deeper roots of these struggles and create lasting change. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep showing up in your life—not with judgment or shame, but with curiosity and compassion.”
“Teens, Adolescents, Young Adults and Adults”
“I work with adults navigating trauma, attachment wounds, and relational ambivalence. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who appear capable on the outside yet carry unresolved childhood experiences—parental substance use, emotional neglect, or inconsistent caregiving—that surface as anxiety, OCD symptoms, flashbacks, or difficulty setting boundaries. I support clients who feel conflicted in relationships, struggle with avoidance, or question whether they are in the right partnership. Through grounding skills, trauma hierarchies, safe-place work, and experiential visualization, I help them build emotional regulation, self-trust, and the courage to create healthier, more secure connections.”
“I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who look like they have it together, butttt internally feel anxious, burned out, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are high-functioning and capable, yet caught in overthinking, self-doubt, or patterns that no longer fit who they’re becoming. You might find yourself constantly in your head, questioning your decisions, or feeling like you “should” be fine, but aren’t. I support people navigating life transitions, identity shifts, and relationship patterns they’re ready to understand and change at a deeper level. My clients are curious, reflective, and willing to be honest with themselves; not looking for quick fixes, but for clarity, alignment, and meaningful change that lasts.”
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.
