About addiction therapy for people in Austin
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 Austin 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 Austin
Austin has a population of about 961,855. 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 for substance use treatment among the listings?
Look for therapists who list specific addiction types and treatment approaches you want, such as CBT for cravings, motivational interviewing, or relapse prevention. Check whether they note experience with co-occurring disorders, family or couples work, and recovery planning. Compare written profiles for fit, training, and stated specialties rather than assuming one size fits all.
Can these therapists help with medication-assisted treatment or coordinate with prescribers in Austin?
Many therapists support clients using medication-assisted treatment, but therapists themselves do not prescribe medications. If coordination with a prescriber is important, look for profiles that mention collaboration with medical providers or experience working alongside prescribing clinicians. Ask the therapist directly about how they handle coordination before starting.
What should I ask during an initial contact when seeking help for addiction?
Ask about the therapist’s experience with your specific substance or behavior, typical treatment methods, how they handle relapse, and experience with co-occurring issues like anxiety or depression. Inquire about session structure, expected goals, and how they involve family or support systems. Use these answers to judge fit and comfort level.
