About Shlomo
Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Florida and Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related struggles, sleep and eating problems, and mood disorders including depression and bipolar. Sessions are conducted in English and he practices from Florida.
He uses straightforward therapeutic methods to address pressing problems. Sessions often focus on what is happening now - how anger shows up, what keeps it cycling, and practical steps to change those patterns. He blends Client-Centered work with cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or anxiety.
Shlomo also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness techniques to lower reactivity in the moment. He has experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people whose anger or anxiety ties back to traumatic events. These methods are described plainly and used as tools in session.
His background includes work in community treatment, addiction programs that address co-occurring disorders, and trauma settings. That experience informs how he approaches cases that combine substance use, trauma, and relationship strain. He has worked with individuals facing complex and long-standing problems.
Clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The practice uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary with location. International clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
How his main approaches work in remote sessions
Client-Centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies the problems they want to solve. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication.Choosing a method is collaborative. He will talk through options and adapt the focus based on the client's goals, whether that is reducing angry outbursts, breaking cycles of resentment, or coping with trauma-related reactions. Clients and therapist review progress and shift techniques if something is not working.
The practical advantages of remote work often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it simpler to check in between work shifts, join from a quieter spot, or do shorter follow-ups, while therapeutic exercises like CBT homework, mindfulness practices, and DBT skills can be assigned and reviewed during virtual meetings.
