Lawrence Algiene, LPC

Lawrence Algiene is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people heal from relational trauma and address the situational symptoms that follow. He emphasizes the value of being fully understood - including hopes, judgments, needs, and faults - and guides clients toward clearer awareness of how their thoughts, behaviors, and personal values interact.

His work centers on cultivating awareness as the first step in change. Lawrence supports clients in developing a solid understanding of themselves, then moving into committed, believable action that aligns with that understanding. That process is intended to strengthen honesty, self-esteem, and sustained motivation, even during times when effort feels difficult.

Clients seeking help with addictions, family relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, or compassion fatigue will find a focus on practical, adult-centered change. He also attends to related concerns such as divorce and separation, guilt and shame, life purpose, money and financial issues, and post-traumatic stress. Lawrence frames progress as real and usable - sometimes requiring uncomfortable but necessary breakthroughs that he refers to as Ugly Victories - rather than settling for superficial solutions.

Evidence-based approaches and the benefits of online therapy

Lawrence uses evidence-based techniques that begin with awareness-focused work. This approach helps clients map how their thoughts, behaviors, and personal values connect, making it easier to identify patterns that maintain distress and to develop clearer choices that reflect what matters most.

He also emphasizes action-oriented values work that turns insight into believable, committed steps. This kind of work supports sustained motivation, strengthens self-esteem, and helps clients practice adult responses in relationships and daily life. For people managing trauma, addiction, or compassion fatigue, the combination of understanding and gradual, values-aligned action can reduce reactive patterns and create more reliable coping options.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lawrence collaborates with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy makes that collaboration flexible - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain consistent work toward change with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the process.
