About Shlomo

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and struggles with mood or self-worth. He practices in Florida and brings 12 years of clinical experience to his work. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk and begin to feel steadier in day-to-day life.

He uses straightforward conversation and skills-based work. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that fit into real life.

Background and approach

He draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, dialectical skills, and EMDR to address trauma and painful memories. His background includes years in community and addiction treatment settings and focused work in trauma care. That experience shaped how he responds to crisis, relapse, and recurring distress.

He also has experience helping people manage sleep, eating concerns, and problems tied to caregiving or medical illness. Shlomo describes himself as compassionate and an active listener. He emphasizes trust-building and open dialogue.

He aims to meet people where they are and pace work according to each persons comfort and goals. In sessions he blends problem-solving, skill training, and memory-focused work when appropriate. He also uses coaching-style conversation for career and life-change issues.

His approach tends to be practical, plainspoken, and aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and hope.

Approaches Shlomo names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shlomo commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR-informed methods along with client-centered work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. EMDR-informed work addresses disturbing memories and their emotional impact using structured processing techniques to help reduce distress. Client-centered therapy centers on listening, empathy, and collaborative goal-setting so people feel heard and respected.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, history, and goals, and together they decide whether skill training, memory-focused work, or a mix of methods will be most helpful. Plans are adjusted over time based on what feels useful and doable.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller check-in is useful. Phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth or being on camera is not desirable. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or supplemental contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent progress.
