About Shlomo
Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. He has 12 years of experience in counseling and helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, and mood struggles like depression and bipolar disorder. He favors a straightforward and compassionate approach.
Sessions focus on listening, naming the problem, and deciding on small, workable steps. He uses Narrative and client-centered ideas alongside structured tools so people can tell their story and then reshape it.
Background and approach
Lawrence has worked in community treatment, addiction programs, and trauma settings. He has supported people with co-occurring substance use and mental health issues and those coping with complex trauma. That background informs how he balances practical skills with attention to personal history.
In the room he aims to be an active listener who helps people reconnect with their purpose and values. He pays attention to patterns that keep problems going and to strengths that can move someone forward. He also draws on cognitive-behavioral and dialectical skills when clear strategies will help.
People can expect a collaborative tone that mixes talk, guided exercises, and real-world homework. Sessions are tailored to the concern - whether that is improving sleep, managing anger, working through grief, or addressing intimacy and identity questions. His Florida licensure is noted as LMFT and he practices in English.

Online session options
How narrative and structured methods work online
Shlomo often blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Narrative Therapy helps people by uncovering the stories they tell about themselves and exploring alternative, more empowering ways to live. Client-centered work focuses on being heard and understood so people can find their own path. Cognitive-behavioral methods give concrete steps and exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works with each person to test different methods and choose what fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative exploration means techniques can shift from session to session based on what actually helps in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful when reading expressions and doing longer work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, coaching-style guidance, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy routines while using the same therapeutic approaches available in person.
