About Shlomo
Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, ADHD, or major life changes. He also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, trauma, or challenges with intimacy and identity.
He uses a practical, down-to-earth style and listens closely before suggesting ways forward. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can ease stress and improve daily life. Shlomo draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method, and he tailors choices to each person’s needs.
Shlomo brings more than a decade of clinical experience, including work in community treatment, addiction programs, and trauma settings. He has worked with adults facing substance use, trauma, relationship conflict, mood disorders, and obsessive behaviors. He also notes experience with second- and third-generation survivors of trauma.
People describe his manner as compassionate and straightforward. He emphasizes listening first, then collaborating on goals and practical strategies. He aims to make therapy understandable and approachable for someone new to the process.
His clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness skills, dialectical behavior ideas, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. Those approaches are integrated into sessions depending on the concern and the client’s preferences.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and understood while they decide their own goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is often applied where trauma or abuse are part of a person's history.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend methods to try. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most in real life.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also allow work on mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, or trauma processing from wherever you are, with the therapist guiding each step.
