About professional clinical counselor therapy for people in San Francisco

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 San Francisco can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.

166 therapists match this page, all of whom name professional clinical counselor 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 San Francisco

San Francisco has a population of about 873,965. 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

What does an LPCC license mean and how does it affect the care I’ll get?

An LPCC is a Professional Clinical Counselor licensed to diagnose and treat mental health conditions in California. They typically use evidence-based talk therapies and may hold additional training in specific approaches. The license indicates they met state education, supervised practice, and exam requirements. Ask a therapist about their specific methods, populations they work with, and how they structure sessions.

Can I see an LPCC listed here if I live in San Francisco but want only online sessions?

Yes. Therapists listed as licensed in California can provide online therapy to clients who are located in San Francisco. Confirm with the therapist that they offer the online session format you prefer, such as video or phone, and check any technical or scheduling details directly with them before booking.

What should I compare between LPCC profiles when choosing someone here?

Look at each counselor’s stated specialties, therapeutic approaches, experience with issues similar to yours, and session formats. Also note any populations they mention working with, such as adults, teens, couples, or families. Read client-facing descriptions to see which tone and style match your preference, then reach out to ask about fit, logistics, and any questions you have.
