Background and approach
Sessions emphasize the client’s strengths and goals, and the work is tailored to each person’s situation. He blends client-centered listening with goal-focused methods so conversations stay relevant to what matters most. Lawrence often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
He also applies dialectical behavior skills to manage intense emotions and mindfulness to help people reduce reactivity and concentrate better. Motivational interviewing is part of his approach when people want support making lasting changes. Over his career he has supported people through addiction, chronic health stress, caregiving burdens, and relationship conflicts.
He also helps with career concerns, life transitions, grief, and control or communication struggles. His practice includes coaching for resilience and problem-solving steps for immediate needs. He aims for clear, respectful sessions where people leave with a next step they can try.
Conversations can be adapted to text, phone, or video formats so therapy fits into a busy life. Lawrence focuses on steady, manageable progress rather than sudden fixes.
How therapy approaches work online
Client-centered therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around their goals and preferences. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of their priorities and decide next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, ADHD-related routines, and habits people want to change.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can reduce reactive responses and improve relationships over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That conversation may shift as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can fit into breaks or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, try short exercises, or keep therapy going during busy days. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and use strategies in real time.
