About addiction therapy for people in Temple
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 Temple 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 Temple
Temple has a population of about 82,073. 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 an online therapist licensed in Texas if I live in Temple?
Yes. A Texas license covers the whole state, so therapists licensed in Texas can work with clients in Temple via online sessions. Check each profile for their stated focus, specialties, and approaches to addiction treatment to decide who might be a good fit.
What should I look for when comparing therapists who treat substance use?
Look for clinicians who describe experience with the substances or behaviors you’re concerned about, mention relapse prevention and harm reduction options, and note work with co-occurring issues like anxiety or depression. Also compare stated treatment modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, or family-involved care.
How can I tell if a therapist has experience with medication-assisted treatment or referrals?
Check profiles for mention of collaboration with prescribers, comfort coordinating care, or experience referring clients for medication-assisted treatment. Many clinicians note whether they work with medical providers or community resources to support comprehensive addiction care.
