About Shlomo Lawrence

Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who has built a long-standing practice supporting individuals, couples, and families through complex life challenges. He earned his degree from Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida in 2007 and has worked across community-based programs, addiction treatment settings that address co-occurring disorders, and trauma-focused services. Over more than a decade in the field, he has developed experience with a broad range of clinical concerns including substance use, relationship strain, inter-familial conflict, depression, anxiety, obsessive behaviors, spectrum disorders, and multi-generational trauma.

He has received extensive training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and has applied that approach with strong clinical results among clients experiencing trauma. In practice he integrates multiple therapeutic methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused techniques, along with narrative and structural therapies and integrative couples work, to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. He also addresses issues related to grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, bipolar disorder, parenting challenges, and a range of identity and attachment concerns.

Colleagues describe him as compassionate and an attentive listener who values the spiritual and relational dimensions of healing. Born to first-generation survivors of Nazi Germany, he brings a personal understanding of inherited trauma to his work and maintains a commitment to community service and support. He aims to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients can explore change, build trust, and pursue healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Shlomo Lawrence blends evidence-based approaches to meet each client's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and then developing practical skills to change those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memory networks and reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to foster insight and growth, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, communication, and relational repair.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess their goals, preferences, and history and then recommend or combine methods that best fit their situation. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and workable for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for engaging in this work. Sessions by video or phone enable scheduled, face-to-face conversations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for more frequent check-ins or clients who prefer written communication. These formats make therapy more accessible to people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints and allow licensed professionals to maintain consistent support across different life demands.
