Shlomo Lawrence, LMFT

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, addiction, grief, parenting stress, and concerns around intimacy and identity. He also supports people working through work stress, sleep or eating problems, ADHD struggles, and major life transitions.

He brings 12 years of clinical experience in community and addiction treatment settings and trauma care. His sessions are conversational and grounded. He listens closely, asks practical questions, and helps people find steps they can try between sessions. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming feelings and restore clearer thinking.

Shlomo uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered techniques, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness tools. He tailors methods to each person's needs rather than following a single script. That flexibility lets him address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns.

He draws on personal and professional life experience to understand how generational trauma and identity shape daily struggles. He values compassion, directness, and building trust. Many people find his manner calm and easy to talk with.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in formats that fit different schedules. He works with adults navigating individual concerns, relationships, and recovery goals. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Shlomo commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR alongside client-centered techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is used to work with distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing to reduce the intensity of past events. Client-centered work emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation where the person sets the pace and topics.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss options, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust based on how the person responds. Goals, preferences, and daily life needs shape which techniques are emphasized over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care.
