About relationship 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.

1,880 therapists match this page, all of whom name relationship 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

Can I work with a therapist on relationship problems if my partner won’t join sessions?

Yes. Many therapists listed work with individuals even when a partner does not participate. Look for therapists who note experience with individual relationship work, separation, boundary setting, or co-parenting. Their profiles will describe whether they focus on one partner’s perspective and how they approach changes without couples sessions.

How do I compare therapists who treat different relationship concerns, like infidelity versus communication issues?

Compare each profile’s stated specialties and therapeutic approaches. Some therapists highlight experience with infidelity recovery, trauma, or affair repair, while others emphasize communication skills, conflict resolution, or Gottman- or emotion-focused methods. Choose someone whose listed focus matches your main concern and whose approach fits your comfort level.

What should I look for if I want a therapist experienced with nontraditional relationships?

Search profiles for keywords such as ethical nonmonogamy, polyamory, queer-affirming, or LGBTQ+ competent. Therapists who mention working with diverse relationship structures and sexual orientations are more likely to understand boundary negotiation, jealousy, and agreements unique to nontraditional relationships. Note their stated client populations and experience.
