About Shlomo
Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who helps people work through stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and money and financial issues. He also supports those coping with trauma, mood disorders like depression and bipolar, parenting and family conflict, ADHD, and intimacy or body-image concerns. He writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
He uses a direct, practical style in sessions. Conversations focus on what is causing distress now and what can be changed. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thought and behavior, and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. He also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in the client's priorities.
EMDR is part of his practice and is offered as an option for people affected by trauma. Mindfulness approaches are used to help with stress, sleep, and anger. Therapy sessions include skills practice, problem-solving, and real-world steps to try between meetings.
He has worked in community and addiction treatment settings and has experience with co-occurring disorders. His background includes years helping people recover from trauma and supporting those facing complicated family and relationship dynamics. He brings 12 years of experience as an LMFT and aims to be approachable and straightforward in sessions.
People who want help with practical issues like money worries or managing symptoms can expect a collaborative process. The first conversations focus on clear goals and a plan that fits daily life.
How specific approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says, helping them set goals and feel heard. Online sessions can provide the same conversational space to prioritize the client's concerns and decide next steps together.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and practices new behaviors between sessions. In an online setting CBT can include homework, worksheets, and step-by-step skill practice that a person can apply in daily routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Therapists use DBT techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness in bite-sized lessons that are easy to practice between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow focused, skills-based check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for use at home or on the go, helping changes carry over into daily routines.
