About Shlomo
Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and mood disorders like depression and bipolar. He brings a practical, straightforward style to sessions and aims to make conversations feel calm and focused for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
He uses a mix of methods depending on the person's needs. Sessions often include goal-focused work and skills practice to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning.
How Shlomo works
For trauma-related concerns he draws on techniques that target painful memories and help lessen their hold. Lawrence has spent more than a decade in mental health settings, including community- based treatment and addiction programs that addressed co-occurring disorders.
Much of his background includes work with trauma and with people facing substance use challenges, as well as those coping with family conflict and relationship strain. He describes his approach as compassionate and listening-first. Sessions tend to be collaborative - he asks about what matters most to the person and then adapts tools and exercises to fit their pace and goals.
He aims to make the therapy process easier to understand and follow. Born into a family shaped by the legacy of trauma, he brings personal insight about long-term effects of distress and resilience. Lawrence is licensed in Florida and Texas as an LMFT and works in English.
Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, parenting, career stress, and identity issues are common topics in his work.

Online support options
Online approaches that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person, then shaping sessions around their goals and values. It helps when someone needs a safe space to make sense of problems and decide on next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills, which is useful for intense emotions and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how they react to different techniques. Together they decide which methods to try first, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working well. This keeps the process collaborative and tailored to real needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks, live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or location is far from a therapist.
