Shlomo Lawrence

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people cope with life changes, stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns. He works with people facing grief, trauma, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and questions about identity and sexuality. He practices in Florida and brings a practical, straightforward approach to sessions.

He draws on about 12 years of clinical experience in community treatment, addiction programs, and trauma settings. He has worked with people who have co-occurring disorders and with those affected by complex trauma. He also has experience helping people with eating and sleeping struggles, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or self-esteem issues.

In sessions he listens closely and aims to build a trusting connection before moving to skills or interventions. He uses client-centered methods so the person sets the pace while the therapist offers guidance. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and mindfulness strategies to help people manage stress and emotional ups and downs.

Shlomo brings EMDR into work with trauma when appropriate and pairs that with DBT skills and motivational interviewing where helpful. He describes himself as compassionate and easy to talk to, focusing on practical steps and personal meaning. He encourages people to bring what matters most to them into the room.

He is licensed in Florida and Texas as an LMFT. Sessions and next steps are arranged through the platform process, starting with a short questionnaire and scheduling according to the therapist's availability. Sessions are conducted in English.

Approaches for online work and practical tools

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and following their pace; it helps when people need a calm space to talk through life changes and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets specific thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete ways to shift unhelpful patterns.

The right approach is often found together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That conversation guides whether to emphasize listening and support, skill teaching with CBT, or trauma-focused techniques like EMDR when appropriate.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care after a move or during life transitions. The therapist will help match session length and frequency to everyday routines and treatment goals.
