About addiction therapy for people in St. Petersburg
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 St. Petersburg can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.
1,149 therapists match this page, all of whom name addiction 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 St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg has a population of about 258,308. 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
How do I choose a clinician for addiction treatment from this list?
Start by reviewing each clinician’s described approaches and specialities. Look for experience with substance use disorders, relapse prevention, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Consider the populations they serve and the therapeutic models they use. If a clinician’s profile aligns with your needs, reach out to ask about their experience with cases like yours before scheduling.
Can clinicians on this page help with both substance use and mental health issues at the same time?
Many clinicians who work with addiction also list experience treating co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. If you have both substance use and mental health concerns, look for clinicians who explicitly mention integrated care or dual-diagnosis experience so you can address both areas together.
What should I ask a clinician about their approach to relapse prevention?
Ask how they define relapse, what strategies they use to identify triggers, and which relapse-prevention techniques they teach. Inquire about how they collaborate on safety planning, monitor progress, and adjust care if setbacks occur. Also ask whether they coordinate with other providers or supports when needed.
