About addiction therapy for people in Corpus Christi

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 Corpus Christi 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 Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi has a population of about 317,863. 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 know if a therapist on this page has experience specifically with addiction?

Look in each therapist’s profile for stated specialties such as substance use disorders, relapse prevention, or behavioral addictions. Profiles often list therapeutic modalities like CBT, motivational interviewing, or contingency management. Compare the descriptions and any mentioned populations served to find someone who lists addiction-focused work.

Can these therapists help with co-occurring mental health issues and addiction at the same time?

Many therapists who work with addiction also treat co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma. Check each profile to see if they mention integrated treatment, dual diagnosis, or coordinated care for mental health and substance-related concerns to find practitioners experienced with both.

What should I compare when choosing an addiction therapist available to clients in Corpus Christi?

Compare therapists’ treatment approaches, experience with specific substances or behaviors, populations served (age, gender, families), and therapeutic methods. Also review any notes about group work, family involvement, or relapse prevention. Remember that all listed providers are licensed in Texas, so state licensing does not limit who can work with you online.
