About anxiety therapy in Florida

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 outside a major metro 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.

Common questions

How do I choose a therapist for anxiety from this list?

Look at each therapist’s stated specialties and treatment approaches, such as CBT, exposure therapy, or mindfulness-based work. Consider age ranges they accept (teens, adults), any trauma or health conditions noted, and the languages they offer. Contact a few to ask how they structure anxiety sessions and what a typical plan looks like.

Can online therapy help with panic attacks and severe anxiety?

Many therapists offer tools that address panic and severe anxiety, like breathing techniques, grounding, and exposure-based strategies. Ask potential therapists how they handle acute symptoms and crisis planning in online sessions. If you have a current safety concern, contact local emergency services or crisis lines immediately.

What should I ask a therapist on the first message or call about anxiety treatment?

Ask whether they have experience with your specific anxiety type, what approaches they use, typical session structure, how they measure progress, and whether they work with any co-occurring issues you have, such as depression or substance use. Also ask about session length and how they handle urgent concerns between sessions.
