About Shlomo
Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. He has worked in counseling for over a decade and helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family struggles, trauma, grief, depression, bipolar concerns, and ADHD. He uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to help people break down problems and find practical steps forward.
Shlomo draws on about 12 years of clinical experience across community treatment, addiction programs, and trauma care.
Background and approach
He has worked with people who face co-occurring disorders and with those who have experienced complex trauma. That background shapes how he approaches safety, pacing, and recovery in sessions. In therapy he focuses on skills and clear goals.
He often uses client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also blends dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices for emotion regulation and stress tolerance. When trauma is part of the story, he has used Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address painful memories.
He aims to match methods to a person’s needs rather than pushing a single technique. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with space for emotion and practical planning. People who choose him often want a calm, direct clinician who listens and helps them set realistic next steps.
He supports work on intimacy, parenting stress, career strain, body image, addiction recovery, and coping with major life changes.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience so goals come from what matters to them; this helps with motivation and feeling heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related routines.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for managing strong emotions, reducing conflict, and improving relationships. These approaches are often blended with mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which combination fits their needs and goals rather than insisting on one path.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when they want it. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, flexible pacing, or ongoing coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping focus on concrete skills and progress.
