Licensed Therapist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed therapist in Florida?
Florida licenses therapists through three boards depending on your specialty: the Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling under the Florida Department of Health. You will need a master's degree in a qualifying field, completion of supervised post-degree clinical hours, and a passing score on the relevant national licensure exam. The most common credentials are the Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
Which companies hire licensed therapists in Florida?
Employers hiring licensed therapists in Florida right now include Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, RIGHT PATH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, and The Lakes Home Care, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's large behavioral health networks, hospital systems, and community mental health centers generate the most consistent volume of openings statewide.
Which Florida cities have the most licensed therapist jobs?
Miami, Bradenton, and Tampa have the most licensed therapist openings in Florida. Miami and Tampa anchor the market because of their large urban populations, major hospital systems, and concentration of community behavioral health centers, while Orlando's growth as a healthcare hub has brought a steady rise in both outpatient and hospital-based therapy roles.
Are there remote licensed therapist jobs in Florida?
Yes, and more than most clinical fields, because teletherapy became widely accepted and reimbursed following the expansion of telehealth platforms. About 33% of licensed therapist openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting that individual and group talk therapy translates well to a virtual format. Roles focused on outpatient counseling and substance use recovery support see the most remote availability.
How can I get hired as a licensed therapist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a registered intern or associate therapist position while you are completing the supervised hours required for full Florida licensure. Large Florida employers such as BayCare Behavioral Health and community mental health agencies across Miami-Dade and Hillsborough counties regularly hire registered interns. Adjacent roles like case manager, behavioral health technician, or crisis support specialist are common lateral moves that build clinical exposure and employer relationships before a licensed role opens.
Where can I find and apply to licensed therapist jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to licensed therapist jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings from employers hiring right now. Search the listings, find roles that match your license type and specialty, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
