About Shlomo
Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Texas and practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, mood disorders, and codependency-related issues.
Clients can expect direct conversation and practical steps. He listens and helps people name patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on what people are doing day to day and on small shifts that reduce overwhelm. He uses clear techniques rather than jargon so people can try changes between meetings.
Shlomo draws on several therapeutic approaches. He often uses client-centered techniques to build rapport, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and EMDR for people with trauma histories. He also uses DBT skills and mindfulness practices when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
His background includes work in community-based treatment, addiction programs that treated co-occurring disorders, and trauma-focused settings. That mix means he has experience with substance use, complicated trauma, and relationship repair alongside mood and anxiety concerns.
People looking for practice-focused support or help stepping back from people-pleasing patterns will find straightforward, skill-focused sessions. He encourages collaboration on goals and checks in on homework and real-life progress between sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Shlomo commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns. EMDR is an approach used with trauma memories to reduce their emotional intensity and can help people who continue to be affected by past events.He also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which prioritize listening and building a collaborative working relationship. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins during a break, or to meet without needing to leave work or family obligations. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how appointments are arranged.
