About Shlomo
Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and anger. He practices in Florida and offers sessions in English.
He uses clear, goal-focused conversation to help people understand what keeps anger and frustration cycling. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and the situations that trigger strong reactions. He also draws on trauma-focused tools when past events keep showing up in present relationships.
Lawrence blends several practical methods in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns that feed anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotion and improving communication. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related symptoms when appropriate.
Across his work he emphasizes straightforward skill-building and realistic practice between sessions. He has experience in addiction treatment and community-based settings, and has worked with people facing co-occurring issues like mood problems and substance use. That background informs how he tracks progress and adjusts plans.
People who connect with him can expect a focus on what to try next rather than abstract theory. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
He trained at Nova Southeastern University and holds LMFT licensure in Texas and Florida. International clients are not currently accepted.
How his approaches translate to online work
Shlomo often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger going; it suits people who want practical steps and homework to try between sessions. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication; it is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when interactions escalate quickly.He also uses EMDR for trauma-related symptoms when past events are driving current anger. EMDR is a structured method that helps process disturbing memories so they interfere less with daily life. Deciding whether EMDR or other methods fit is a collaborative process; he works with each person to choose approaches that match their needs and goals.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a break, and can be adjusted when someone needs a lower-bandwidth option. The therapist will discuss which approaches and practical session arrangements suit the person’s schedule and concerns.
