Shlomo Lawrence

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and body-image worries, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. He also supports people facing parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and other life changes. He brings more than a decade of mental health work to sessions. His background includes community treatment, addiction programs that addressed co-occurring disorders, and trauma-focused care. He has worked with people affected by substance misuse, inter-familial conflict, and those recovering from complex trauma across generations. In session he aims to be a calm, compassionate listener. He describes himself as approachable and focuses on building trust so people feel heard. He emphasizes respect for each person’s life story and values a spiritual sense of meaning when clients find that helpful. Therapy draws on several practical methods. He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma work, and mindfulness techniques to reduce stress. He also integrates solution-focused and narrative ideas when they suit the client. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Fees vary by location and the practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood and guided. Online sessions can preserve that direct, person-focused conversation while making it easier to fit appointments into a busy week.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. In remote sessions these skill-building exercises translate well to short between-session tasks and focused practice during meetings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with painful memories and responses. When EMDR is used, the therapist and client work together to determine if the approach fits the issue and whether remote delivery is appropriate for the client’s needs.

Choosing the best approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, and will collaborate with the client to try methods that fit their situation. That process is flexible and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the profile does not list explicit options. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow sessions to fit around family, school, or work commitments. It also lets clients use shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that better matches their day.
