Shlomo Lawrence, LMFT

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family strain, trauma and grief. He also supports clients with intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career or self-esteem struggles.

Shlomo listens with calm and direct attention. He aims to build trust so people can talk through painful memories and everyday problems. His style is compassionate and straightforward, with a focus on practical steps clients can try between sessions.

He has more than 12 years of experience in mental health settings. That work has included community treatment, addiction programs that address co-occurring disorders, and trauma-focused care. He has worked with people at many levels of need, including those managing substance use and complex trauma histories.

Shlomo uses several approaches to tailor care to each person. He commonly draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to address specific symptoms and to change patterns that keep problems going.

His background includes training and long experience with trauma-related work and EMDR. He also brings perspectives shaped by family history and a commitment to community service. People who choose him can expect an attentive therapist who focuses on clear steps and collaborative planning.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the relationship and listening. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what he hears, and helps people feel understood so they can name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and adds small experiments or exercises to change them; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and some eating or sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that targets distressing memories and helps reduce their hold; it is used for trauma and abuse related issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean starting with listening and skill-building, then adding trauma-focused work when the client is ready.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also let someone use tools like between-session worksheets or guided mindfulness exercises without needing to come into an office. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to the online setting while helping clients plan practical steps they can use day to day.
