His background includes work across multiple levels of care, including community-based services, addiction treatment with co-occurring concerns, and trauma-focused settings. He supports people facing substance use concerns, the impact of traumatic experiences, and relationship or family conflict, including marital stress and inter-family strain. He also has experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, obsessive behaviors, and a wide range of clinical needs and severities, including work with second- and third-generation survivors of trauma.

In sessions, Shlomo Lawrence brings a compassionate, attentive style and emphasizes creating a supportive space where clients can speak openly. He recognizes how stigma and the practical steps of seeking help can make getting started feel difficult, and he prioritizes building trust through an approachable, respectful therapeutic relationship. His work draws from several evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), alongside additional methods such as solution-focused, narrative, structural, and integrative couples therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Shlomo Lawrence integrates practical, evidence-informed methods that can work effectively in an online format. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can speak openly and set the pace, which can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes feel overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with more workable ways of thinking and responding. It is often used to build coping skills for anxiety, depression, obsessive behaviors, and everyday stressors.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach commonly used with trauma and distressing memories, helping clients process experiences that may still feel emotionally activating in the present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shlomo Lawrence collaborates with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and access care from a comfortable, familiar setting.
