Shlomo Lawrence, LMFT

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship trouble, grief, and aging and geriatric issues. He works with concerns like depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, ADHD, and struggles with intimacy and self-esteem. He practiced in Florida and brings a calm, direct style to sessions.

Shlomo uses a straightforward, listening-first approach. He focuses on what matters most to the person in front of him and tailors sessions to practical steps the client can try between meetings. He commonly uses client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and EMDR when trauma is involved.

He trained at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida, and holds LMFT licensure in Florida and Texas. Over the past 12 years he has worked across community programs, addiction treatment settings, and trauma-focused services. That breadth means he is familiar with co-occurring disorders and complex life stressors.

In sessions he aims to be compassionate and approachable. He acknowledges that asking for help can feel confusing and stressful, and he works to build trust through steady listening and clear suggestions. People often get concrete tools for managing mood, anxiety, and relationship challenges.

Shlomo also brings personal perspective to his work rooted in family history and community service. He combines practical therapy tools with attention to meaning and long-term coping. If aging or caregiver stress is part of the concern, he will incorporate relevant strategies into the plan.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. In practice that means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify what they want to change or keep. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing small, practical changes to improve mood and function. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without acting impulsively.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That partnership includes trying a strategy for a few sessions and adjusting if something feels off.

The original profile does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, or allowing workday appointments that otherwise would be hard to attend in person. Licensed professionals commonly adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques for remote work so clients can practice skills and get feedback between meetings.
