About Lawrence
Lawrence Story is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 36 years of clinical and leadership experience. He centers his work on practical conversations that help people find hope and direction during hard times. Lawrence brings a direct, conversational style and draws on real-life examples to make change feel possible.
He frames problems using clear reference points so options become easier to see. That approach is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. It also guides work around addictions, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns.
Lawrence combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. He uses mindfulness and existential ideas to help people name values and make decisions that fit their lives. Sessions often focus on building small, workable steps toward daily improvements.
His background includes leadership roles in healthcare and experience running wellness and fitness programs. That practical history informs an active coaching attitude in therapy. Clients who want both coaching and therapy can expect direct feedback, goal setting, and follow-through.
Lawrence emphasizes collaboration when designing a plan. He works with each person to set goals, track progress, and adjust strategies over time. The tone is straightforward and encouraging, geared toward people who want clear options and practical tools to move forward.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online work
Lawrence uses client-centered therapy to create a space where the person's own goals guide sessions. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behavior and mood. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.The right approach is something to find together. He works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean combining coaching-style goal setting with therapeutic tools and checking what works as sessions progress.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also let people use audio-only interactions when bandwidth is limited or choose a shorter session for a quick progress review. Talk with the therapist during the intake to agree on practical scheduling, session length, and the best way to work together online.
