Addiction Therapists Available in Concord
This page is for people in Concord looking for online therapy for addiction. It lists licensed California clinicians who offer remote care and specialize in substance use, gambling, or process addictions. Compare each clinician’s treatment approaches, theoretical orientation, experience with relapse prevention and co-occurring mental health concerns, and whether they offer individual, group, or family work. A California license covers the whole state, so being elsewhere in California does not prevent a clinician from working with you online. Use the listings to narrow choices and contact clinicians directly to ask about fit and next steps.
This is a partner link. We will earn a commission if you sign up through it, at no cost to you. It does not change what you pay or the order of the listings.

About addiction therapy for people in Concord
Everyone listed on this page holds a licence to practise in California and works online. That matters more than it sounds: a licence is issued by the state, not by a city, so a therapist is available to anyone in California regardless of how far away they are. Someone in Concord can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.
767 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. LMFT, LCSW and LPCC are different training routes to the same licensed practice. 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 Concord
Concord has a population of about 125,410. 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 a clinician in California if I live in Concord but want online-only care?
Yes. A California license permits clinicians to provide telehealth anywhere in the state. Confirm with any clinician that they accept online clients in Concord and ask about their telehealth setup, platform preferences, and whether they have experience treating your specific type of addiction.
What should I ask about a clinician’s approach to addiction treatment?
Ask which evidence-based methods they use, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, or contingency management. Also ask about relapse prevention strategies, experience with co-occurring disorders, harm-reduction versus abstinence models, and whether they coordinate care with medical providers or substance-use programs.
Do clinicians on this page offer help for both substance use and behavioral addictions?
Many clinicians list experience with a range of addictions, including alcohol, opioids, stimulants, gambling, and compulsive sexual behavior. Check each clinician’s profile to see the specific issues they treat and whether they have additional training in areas like medication-assisted treatment, family therapy, or trauma-informed care.
