About Lawrence

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. He chose this path after his own experience finding healing in therapy, and that personal story shapes how he meets people now. He focuses on helping people find relief from persistent psychological pain and regain control over symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Anton listens with curiosity and warmth. He aims to build a relationship where people feel safe to talk about confusing or painful topics.

Background and approach

He avoids moral judgment and works to keep conversations respectful and hopeful. In sessions he combines a psychodynamic outlook with practical cognitive-behavioral strategies, always keeping the person at the center of care. This means he pays attention to how past patterns influence present behavior while also teaching concrete skills to manage distressing thoughts and feelings.

He uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand close relationships and to help people repair connection and trust. He also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, for people who are processing traumatic memories. Anton has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and identity-related challenges.

He also works with issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation, and substance use. His aim is to help people find a clearer path out of pain and toward a life that feels more authentic.

Online support

How approaches like EMDR and CBT work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect feelings and behavior now. Online sessions let people talk through relationship history and practice new ways of relating with guidance from a therapist.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles because it teaches concrete coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help people process traumatic memories that continue to cause distress. In online work, EMDR protocols are adapted so the person can do memory processing with the therapist's step-by-step support over video or phone.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust the plan based on how the person responds. This collaborative process helps match the approach to the client's needs and preferences.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls replicate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in during a busy day, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, and travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.
