About Lawrence
Lawrence Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with 20 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and other life changes. Lawrence also lists codependency among his focus areas.
He began in social services in 1994 and became an LPC in 2005. Much of his work has been in individual therapy, with additional experience leading family and group sessions. He has worked with veterans and people facing substance use and post-traumatic stress challenges.
Lawrence uses a conversational, interactive approach in sessions. He listens and talks things through with each person, helping them name problems and try new ways of handling them. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide discussions and skills practice.
Practical help is central to his style. Sessions may include looking at thought patterns, testing small behavior changes, and setting clear short-term goals. He aims to help people manage anger, reduce overwhelming anxiety, cope with grief, and make changes when codependent patterns or addiction issues are involved.
People who prefer a straightforward, talk-based therapist may find his manner approachable. He works in English and practices in Alabama. Before scheduling, confirm the session formats he currently offers so they match your needs.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to move forward from a specific problem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and what feels doable. Together they decide whether to focus more on changing thoughts and habits, on practical goals, or on open, reflective conversations.
Confirm the session formats he currently offers before booking so they match your needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also let people opt for shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that works better. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain consistency of care and to try approaches like CBT homework, goal tracking, and conversational problem solving across sessions.
