Shlomo Lawrence, LMFT

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with more than a decade of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. He also supports clients with intimacy and sexual culture questions, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or life transitions.

He trained at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida, graduating in 2007, and has worked in community programs and addiction treatment settings that included co-occurring disorders. He has years of experience in trauma work and has worked with people affected by multiple generations of traumatic experiences.

In sessions he emphasizes a compassionate, direct, and listening stance. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters most and build small, practical steps forward. He focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and daily routines that keep problems going and on teaching tools to change those patterns.

Clinically he draws on several approaches. He commonly uses client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness exercises, and EMDR for trauma processing. He adapts methods to fit each person rather than following a single template.

Shlomo has worked with substance use concerns and with families and couples managing conflict. He practices in Florida and holds LMFT credentials for Florida and Texas. Sessions are conducted in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to identify what matters most. It helps people who need a steady, accepting space to sort through feelings and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit shifts such as sleep or eating routines.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process troubling memories and reduce their intensity. It is commonly used for people with a history of trauma and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day, then try methods that best fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and relevant.

Because the biography did not specify session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a client. It also lets people continue work when relocating or managing treatment alongside other commitments, while the therapist and client choose the most practical format together.
