Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a licensed mental health counselor with seven years of clinical experience. He found his vocational path after personal experience with therapy, and now focuses on helping people find practical relief from painful patterns and symptoms.

Anton aims to uncover the causes that keep problems alive. He believes change often happens in a trusting relationship where difficult topics can be talked through. In sessions he listens carefully, asks curious questions, and helps people put names to what has been keeping them stuck.

His work blends a psychodynamic outlook with practical cognitive-behavioral tools. He centers the relationship with each person and uses approaches that match the issue at hand. The goal is to reduce distress and help people move toward the life they want.

Anton has experience with trauma, mood disorders, substance misuse, co-occurring conditions, and a range of life stresses. He has also supported people facing gender-specific concerns, LGBT issues, parenting strain, grief, and transitions. He draws on EMDR when appropriate alongside other methods.

Sessions are offered in English and he works with people in Florida as well as international clients. He aims to help people build skills for managing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction-related problems, and the fallout of past trauma.

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people connect and feel safe. It helps when trust, intimacy, or attachment patterns are causing distress and can guide work on relationships and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and pace; the therapist listens deeply and supports self-directed growth, which helps with low self-esteem, life changes, and waking up to new choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since they are not specified here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, and make it easier to meet when travel or distance would otherwise interfere. Online work can also let someone continue care when relocating or living outside the therapist's local area. The focus in sessions stays on learning skills, processing difficult memories, and building stronger ways of relating.
