About Lawrence
Lawrence Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 20 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, grief, career issues, bipolar disorder, trauma and other life changes.
He has a long history in social services dating back to 1994 and has held his LPC since 2005. Much of his work has been one-to-one counseling, plus group and family sessions. He has worked with veterans and people facing substance use and adjustment challenges as part of that history.
His way of working is conversational and interactive. Sessions look like a focused discussion where the client explains what is happening and they both try practical steps to respond differently. He listens, asks questions, and offers short interventions aimed at day-to-day change rather than long theory talks.
Lawrence uses a mix of methods that include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies. That combination is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and build clearer ways to handle anger or recurring stress.
He describes respect and dignity as central to his practice. People who want direct, practical work on temper, impulsivity, control issues, or the fallout from trauma and loss may find his style fits.

Approaches used and how online sessions can help
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client’s perspective. The therapist stays focused on what matters to the person and responds in a supportive, non-directive way to help them describe what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to test assumptions and change patterns that feed anger, anxiety, or depression.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term steps and small changes. It helps people identify what works already and build on those strengths to reduce conflict and improve daily coping.
Choosing a method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which mix of approaches to try and adjust as work progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow check-ins without travel, and can be arranged to suit shorter or longer meetings. Many people find remote sessions help them practice new ways of responding to anger in real life while keeping therapy practical and focused.
