Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi, LMHC

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a licensed mental health counselor with seven years of clinical experience in Florida. He focuses on helping people reduce symptoms and find practical ways forward. He aims to build a trusting relationship where clients can talk about painful or confusing issues without moral judgment.

He emphasizes finding the root causes of ongoing distress. He believes relief often comes when those causes become clearer in conversation. His own journey into therapy informs how he listens and responds to clients' struggles.

His practice blends several approaches so sessions can match each person’s needs. He draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns that repeat over time.

Person-centered work guides how he meets people in the room. That means he prioritizes respect, empathy, and the therapeutic relationship while helping clients test new ways of coping. He has experience supporting people through trauma, depression, mood and personality concerns, and substance-use issues.

Clients may bring stress, anxiety, grief, identity-related questions, parenting stress, or problems with intimacy and relationships. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, caregiving strain, and career-related decisions. Sessions aim to reduce symptoms and help people move toward a life that feels more authentic and manageable.

How approaches like CBT and attachment work online

Many of his methods move well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression. It uses structured exercises, goal setting, and practical tools that translate easily to video or phone meetings.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current expectations. It helps people notice how they relate to others and practice different ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and supporting a person's own goals, giving space for people to find their own path at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs and preferences, adjusting as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to share what helps and what doesn't so the work stays relevant.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins and flexible support between sessions. These options make it easier to integrate therapy into everyday life while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
