About Lawrence
Lawrence Flynn is a LICSW and LCSW with 25 years of experience based in Florida. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, career questions, and coaching.
He describes a client-centered style that builds on the person's strengths and goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and short-term problem solving. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to change unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions.
Lawrence also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and motivational interviewing when people are weighing change. His approach emphasizes clear goals, small experiments, and skill building rather than long abstract talk. He aims to help people reduce reactivity and handle tense moments more effectively.
He has worked in behavioral health, addiction, crisis management, and wellness for many years. That background informs a straightforward orientation to relapse prevention, coping with loss, and navigating relationship conflict. He also offers resilience coaching and mentoring for individuals and managers who want practical tools for stress and performance.
Conversations with him usually move between current problems, skill practice, and planning for next steps. He asks about what is working now and what the client wants to try differently. People who prefer direct, skill-focused work may find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and strengths and guides session topics based on what the client wants to change. Online this means conversations concentrate on concrete aims and next steps that fit the client's daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses exercises to test new beliefs. In remote sessions CBT can include tracking patterns between meetings and practicing new reactions during the week. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are often practiced in-session and assigned as short homework to try in real situations. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to decide which approaches match the client's goals, preferences, and what feels practical. That collaborative planning may adjust techniques as progress is reviewed. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the original biography highlights chat-based text and messaging approaches. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins or skill practice between appointments. Ask about available formats when you begin the matching process so sessions fit your routine.Areas of focus
