About trauma 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.

1,734 therapists match this page, all of whom name trauma 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 trauma therapist from this directory?

Look for therapists who list specific trauma treatments you want, such as EMDR, CPT, or somatic therapies. Check their experience level with the type of trauma you have, the populations they serve, and any notes about assessment or safety planning. Compare approaches and read about communication style to find a good fit.

Can trauma work be done effectively online with a Florida-licensed therapist?

Many therapists provide trauma-focused care online. A Florida licence covers the whole state, so online therapy can reach you wherever you are in Florida. Consider whether you prefer video, phone, or messaging, and check therapist profiles for notes about offering trauma treatment through those formats.

What screening or preparation should I expect when starting trauma therapy?

Expect an initial assessment of symptoms, history, and safety concerns. Therapists often discuss goals, explain chosen trauma approaches, and create a plan that may include stabilization strategies. You can look in profiles for clinicians who emphasize safety planning, crisis management, and pacing for trauma work.
