About marriage and family therapist therapy for people in Fort Lauderdale

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 Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale has a population of about 182,760. 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 kinds of relationship or family issues do LMFTs on this page typically help with?

LMFTs specialize in relationship and family dynamics. They often work on couple conflict, communication problems, parenting challenges, blended family issues, separation and divorce transitions, and family-of-origin patterns. Check each therapist’s profile for specifics about the issues they focus on and the populations they commonly serve.

How do I choose between LMFTs with different therapy approaches listed here?

Compare the therapy approaches each LMFT lists and think about what fits your needs. Some focus on systemic or structural therapy, others on emotionally focused or solution-focused methods. Read descriptions, look for mention of couples or family techniques, and prioritize therapists whose stated approaches match your goals and comfort level.

Are LMFTs on this directory licensed to work with Fort Lauderdale clients if they are licensed elsewhere in Florida?

Yes. A Florida licence covers the whole state, so any LMFT listed as licensed in Florida can provide services to clients in Fort Lauderdale. Confirm licensing details on a therapist’s profile and ask them directly about service delivery if you have specific questions about how they work with clients in your area.
