About parenting therapy for people in Murrieta

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

971 therapists match this page, all of whom name parenting 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 Murrieta

Murrieta has a population of about 110,949. 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 choose a parenting therapist from this list?

Look for therapists who state experience with the specific parenting issues you face, such as tantrums, teen conflict, co-parenting, or adoption-related concerns. Compare their described approaches (for example, parent coaching, attachment-based work, or behaviour strategies), any stated age ranges they work with, and whether they mention work with single parents or blended families.

Can these therapists help with child behaviour problems or only with parental stress?

Many parenting-focused therapists work with both parent wellbeing and child behaviour indirectly by coaching parents in strategies, communication, and boundary setting. Check each profile for mention of behaviour management, parent coaching, or family-based interventions to see who addresses child behaviour as part of their practice.

Will my therapist be able to support co-parenting across households?

Some therapists list co-parenting as a specific area of work and may have experience facilitating communication, setting consistent routines, or navigating custody-related stress. Look for profiles that reference co-parenting, separated families, or mediation skills if you need help managing parenting across different households.
