Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi, LMHC

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a licensed mental health counselor with seven years of experience helping people facing emotional pain. He draws on his own path to therapy to guide others toward relief and clearer understanding. Anton emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where clients can talk about painful, confusing issues.

He believes many problems linger because their causes are unclear. In sessions he listens closely and asks questions that help uncover those causes. That process aims to reduce symptoms and restore a sense of control over daily life.

Anton blends a psychodynamic orientation with practical cognitive-behavioral strategies, all within a person-centered approach. He places the therapeutic relationship at the center of the work and adapts methods to each person's needs. His methods are meant to help people with mood struggles, trauma, and substance concerns among other issues.

Clients who come to him include men, adolescent males, recent mothers, mothers with adolescent boys, and people with gender and sexual identity concerns. He also has experience working with older adults and those facing co-occurring problems such as mood and substance use issues.

Sessions aim to build hope, reduce distress, and help people find a livable path forward. Anton explains ideas plainly, focuses on what matters to the client, and works to make progress feel achievable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Anton uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that are easy to understand. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at past and present relationship patterns to help people feel safer in relationships and reduce repeated hurts. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people find their own direction rather than imposing solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful. That shared planning helps shape sessions so they fit the person's needs and pace.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue care while living in a different location, which is helpful for international clients. A therapist and client can decide together how often to meet and what structure will best support progress.
