Shlomo Lawrence

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. He supports people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship and family strains, career concerns, and other life changes. He also works with those facing trauma, intimacy and body-image issues, mood disorders, ADHD, and challenges with sleep or eating.

He brings 12 years of clinical experience to sessions and has worked in community treatment, addiction programs, and trauma-focused settings. He uses clear, practical language and listens closely to what matters to each person. The goal is to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward.

In sessions he draws on several approaches to match what a person needs. He uses Client-Centered techniques to build trust and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to teach skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. He also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness practices when they fit a person’s goals.

Shlomo emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth style. He aims to reduce stigma around getting help and to make therapy a practical part of life. He encourages clients to set real goals and to work at a pace that feels doable.

He earned his degree from Nova Southeastern University and holds LMFT credentials in Florida and Texas. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not work with international clients.

How his approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building trust. Online sessions using this approach focus on the person's goals and priorities, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; delivered remotely, CBT includes practical exercises and skill-building homework to handle anxiety, depression, or career stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses traumatic memories; when appropriate, elements of EMDR can be adapted for remote work and used alongside grounding and mindfulness techniques.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor techniques to the person's needs, goals, and comfort level. Decisions about which approaches to use are collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins during life transitions. They can also support steady skill practice between appointments and let people schedule care around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
