Shlomo Lawrence

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida. He focuses on helping people handle stress, anger, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family strains, grief, and trauma. He also supports clients facing self-esteem, intimacy, parenting, career, and life-transition concerns.

He brings 12 years of clinical experience in community treatment, addiction programs, and trauma care. His background includes work with people experiencing co-occurring disorders, substance use struggles, and varying levels of trauma. He also has experience supporting those coping with mood and spectrum disorders and obsessive behaviors.

His style is warm and straightforward. He aims to be an active listener who helps people find practical ways to manage emotions and rebuild relationships. He emphasizes building trust and making the process feel less overwhelming for someone taking a first step toward help.

Clinically, he uses a mix of approaches: client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based techniques. Sessions often weave these methods together to match a person's needs rather than relying on one fixed method.

Shlomo notes personal roots in family history that shape his interest in trauma and resilience. He offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental presence and practical guidance during difficult life changes. His LMFT credential is held in Florida and Texas and informs his therapy practice.

How these approaches work in online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on treating the person with respect and curiosity. It emphasizes listening, reflecting what someone says, and shaping the work around a person’s goals. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through strong emotions and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks big problems into small steps and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.

EMDR helps people process past traumatic memories that continue to affect daily life. In practice it involves guided steps to reduce the intensity of those memories and the reactions tied to them. It is often chosen when trauma or painful past events are central to someone’s struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying an initial approach and adjusting as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight.
