About addiction therapy for people in Houston
Everyone listed on this page holds a license to practice in Texas and works online. That matters more than it sounds: a license is issued by the state, not by a city, so a therapist is available to anyone in Texas regardless of how far away they are. Someone in Houston can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.
1,011 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. LPC, LCSW and LMFT are different training routes into licensed therapy work. 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 Houston
Houston has a population of about 2,304,580. 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 therapist who specializes in addiction?
Look at each clinician’s stated approaches and areas of focus. Compare whether they list substance use, withdrawal support, relapse prevention, medication-assisted treatment collaboration, or co-occurring disorders. Also consider therapy modalities they use, such as CBT, motivational interviewing, or family therapy. Read profiles and choose someone whose approach matches your needs and goals.
Can online addiction treatment help with co-occurring mental health issues?
Many therapists who work with addiction also treat co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Check profiles for mention of dual-diagnosis experience or integrated treatment. Ask any prospective clinician how they coordinate care for both substance use and mental health symptoms to make sure you get a comprehensive plan that addresses both areas.
What should I ask a therapist before starting online sessions for addiction?
Ask about their experience with substance use disorders, typical treatment approaches, and how they handle relapse and crisis situations. Clarify whether they collaborate with prescribers or local services for medical needs and what kinds of support they offer for family involvement. Confirm they are licensed in Texas and available to clients in Houston.
