About grief 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.
1,552 therapists match this page, all of whom name grief 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 grief work online in Florida?
Look at each therapist’s stated experience with bereavement and the approaches they use, such as grief-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, or meaning-centered methods. Check whether they mention support for specific types of loss. Also compare their communication style, session format, and any notes about working with families or complicated grief before contacting them to ask questions.
What should I ask a therapist about their experience with grief during my first message?
Ask about the therapist’s experience with cases like yours, the types of grief they commonly treat, and which therapeutic approaches they use. You can also ask how they structure sessions around grief, whether they work with family members, and what a typical short-term plan might look like. Keep questions focused and practical to get useful answers.
Can grief-focused therapy help when loss is recent, longstanding, or anticipatory?
Therapists who work with grief often address recent bereavement, prolonged or complicated grief, and anticipatory grief before a loss. Different approaches may be used depending on timing and symptoms. When comparing profiles, look for descriptions that match your situation and ask prospective therapists how they adapt their methods for recent versus long-term grief.
