From Fort Lauderdale clients

What Fort Lauderdale clients say.

Real feedback from people who matched with a ThriveTalk therapist near them.

  • “I'm a litigator on Las Olas and my calendar is brutal. My therapist had real 7am slots and never made me feel guilty for rescheduling around a trial.”

    Jonathan B.

    Las Olas, Fort Lauderdale

  • “I work as a stewardess on yachts out of Port Everglades — six weeks on, two weeks off. My counselor met me on video from the boat and from home, and that continuity was everything.”

    Saskia V.

    Rio Vista, Fort Lauderdale

  • “Finding a therapist who actually got queer relationships and chosen-family stuff in Wilton Manors — without me having to explain everything from scratch — was a relief I didn't know I needed.”

    Devon R.

    Wilton Manors area, Fort Lauderdale

  • “ER nurse at Broward Health, three kids, hurricane season anxiety on top of it all. Booked, matched, and in a session in four days. My therapist takes our Aetna plan.”

Fort Lauderdale FAQ

Common questions from Fort Lauderdale clients.

Everything you need to know before your first session.

Are ThriveTalk therapists licensed in Florida?
Yes. Every therapist who sees Florida clients is independently licensed by the Florida Department of Health — including LCSWs (Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling), LMHCs, and LMFTs. Our current Florida-licensed providers include Connie Baldwin, LMHC; Luanne Rossi, LCSW; Jay Petry, LMHC; Antoinette Montgomery, LMFT; Haley Neidich, LCSW; and Lydia Kickliter, LMHC. We verify licensure and malpractice coverage before any provider joins our network.
Does ThriveTalk take Florida Blue, Aetna, or other Florida insurance?
We're in-network with most major Florida insurance plans, including Florida Blue (BCBS of Florida), Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Magellan. Florida Medicaid and Medicaid Managed Care (Sunshine Health, Simply, Molina) coverage varies by therapist and plan, so during matching we confirm in-network status with your specific plan before your first session — no surprise bills.
Do you have LGBTQ+-affirming therapists for the Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale community?
Yes. Several of our Florida-licensed clinicians specialize in LGBTQ+-affirming care, including work around coming-out, chosen family, gender identity, queer relationship dynamics, and the specific stressors of building a life in South Florida. Tell us during the matching assessment that affirming care is a priority and we'll match you with a therapist who has that focus, not just a checkbox on their bio.
Is care only virtual, or can I see a therapist in person?
ThriveTalk care across Miami-Dade is online — secure video, phone, or text — which is what our South Florida clients overwhelmingly prefer for fitting therapy around traffic on I-95 and the Palmetto, hurricane-season disruptions, shift work, and family schedules. If you specifically need in-person care, let us know during matching and we'll do our best to refer you to a vetted local partner.
Do you offer evening and weekend sessions?
Yes. Most of our Florida-licensed therapists offer early-morning, evening, and weekend availability — Monday through Sunday, 8am to 10pm Eastern — and you'll see real openings on your therapist's calendar before you book.
How long does matching take, and what if my therapist isn't the right fit?
Most South Florida clients are matched within 24–48 hours of completing our brief assessment and have a first session on the calendar within a week. If your match isn't right, you can switch therapists at any time directly from your dashboard — no awkward conversations, no extra fees.
