About Shlomo

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and grief. He also supports concerns around intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and other life transitions. He lists Men's wellbeing among his focus areas and brings 12 years of clinical experience to his work.

He prefers a direct but compassionate style. He listens carefully and helps clients say what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. He works with each person to set realistic goals and track progress over time.

Clinically he blends several approaches to match a person’s needs. Shlomo uses client-centered techniques to prioritize each person’s goals, cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation, and EMDR for people processing trauma. He also incorporates mindfulness practices to help with stress and attention.

He trained at Nova Southeastern University and has worked in community treatment, addiction programs that include co-occurring disorders, and trauma settings. His background includes experience with substance-related issues, relationship conflict, and multigenerational trauma. Shlomo states he has seen strong results with EMDR when it fits a client’s needs.

People who choose him can expect a respectful, straightforward partner in therapy. He aims to reduce stigma around seeking help and to make the process easier to navigate. To begin, he asks prospective clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach help clients talk through what matters most and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In online CBT people learn practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new routines that reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress is made or new needs appear.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a lunch break, or let someone join when they are in a quieter setting. These practical benefits often help people stay consistent with their work and apply new skills in daily life.
