About Lawrence
Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a licensed mental health counselor with seven years of clinical experience in Florida. He focuses on helping people find relief from anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and other painful problems. He draws on his own life story to shape a compassionate, steady approach to therapy.
Clients meet a clinician who listens first and asks questions to understand what is really causing the pain. He prioritizes building a trusting working relationship where sensitive topics can be discussed without moral judgment.
How Lawrence works
That relationship is used as the foundation for testing ideas and trying practical strategies. His work blends person-centered listening with psychodynamic ideas about patterns formed earlier in life. He also uses cognitive-behavioral tools to change distressing thoughts and behaviors.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is part of his toolkit for people recovering from traumatic memories. Lawrence supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, bipolar and mood concerns, and substance use. He also addresses attachment issues, caregiver stress, dissociation, and challenges that follow loss or major life change.
Sessions aim for clear goals and practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. He works collaboratively to help each person discover a path out of pain and toward a life that feels more authentic and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape feelings and behavior today. It can be useful for intimacy problems, attachment issues, and relationship distress.Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and supports people as they decide what changes they want to make. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity, and encouragement to make personal decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses structured techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend an approach or a mix of methods that fits the situation.
Online therapy lets people access these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video works well for therapy that benefits from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and texting allow brief check-ins or ongoing reflection without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to stay connected between sessions.
