About Lawrence

Background and approach
His approach emphasizes teaching skills, restoring hope, and addressing life transitions through focused conversation and real-life examples. As an LMFT licensed in Texas (TX LMFT 4347), he frames work around contemporary therapy models including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices.
He integrates his history of organizational leadership, health and fitness coaching, and published work to create individualized plans for concerns ranging from self-esteem, impulsivity, and ADHD to relationship, parenting, and career challenges. He invites clients to collaborate on clear goals and practical steps to improve day-to-day functioning and long-term purpose.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Lawrence integrates client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to support meaningful change. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a collaborative relationship that honors individual strengths; it helps when someone needs empathetic guidance and goal-setting. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and day-to-day coping. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) trains practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, helping when impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship difficulties are present.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance means techniques may be combined and adjusted over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so work can fit around busy schedules and geographic constraints. These formats provide flexibility for ongoing support, skill practice, and brief check-ins while allowing licensed professionals to tailor interventions to each person's situation.
