About Shlomo

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 12 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

He supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and eating or sleeping issues, ADHD, depression and bipolar symptoms, self-esteem and career challenges, and many other life transitions.

His background also includes work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment and commitment problems, caregiver stress, and diverse relationship dynamics such as blended families and alternative sex culture topics. His clinical style blends empathy with evidence-based interventions.

He draws from client-centered principles to build rapport and then incorporates cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, EMDR for trauma work, and mindfulness practices to help clients shift patterns and develop coping skills. Shlomo’s training includes extensive work with trauma and co-occurring addiction concerns, and he has used EMDR with notable clinical outcomes in his practice.

He emphasizes a compassionate, listening-centered approach and frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on practical change and emotional healing. Shlomo holds LMFT licensure in Florida and Texas, and he brings experience from community-based treatment, addiction settings, and trauma-focused care to his online practice.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shlomo uses several well-established approaches that translate effectively to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often used to address anxiety, depression, and mood or attentional challenges. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing to reduce the impact of distressing memories and is frequently applied when past events continue to affect current functioning. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical attention skills that support emotional regulation and stress reduction.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss the client's concerns, goals, and preferences to tailor a treatment plan that may combine these methods rather than relying on a single modality, and he encourages clients to provide feedback so adjustments can be made as progress unfolds.

Online formats offer practical flexibility for many people; sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits the client's needs and lifestyle. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, manage scheduling constraints, and access therapeutic tools from different settings while working with licensed professionals to pursue personal goals.
