He earned his degree from Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida, in 2007 and has spent more than a decade working across community-based programs, addiction treatment centers, and trauma-focused services.

He has received substantial training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and reports strong clinical outcomes using this modality with trauma survivors. Beyond trauma work, his experience spans couples and family therapy, depression, obsessive behaviors, spectrum disorders, and support for second- and third-generation survivors of traumatic events. He has also provided care for clients dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, and addictive behaviors.

Known for a compassionate and attentive style, Shlomo emphasizes an engaged, person-centered approach that blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy with narrative, structural, and solution-focused methods. Born to first-generation survivors of Nazi Germany, he brings a personal understanding of intergenerational impact and a commitment to community service and spiritual purpose to his work. As a therapist he aims to create a trusting atmosphere where individuals, couples, and families can address life s challenges and pursue healthier relationships and well-being.

Approaches and Online Options for Healing

Shlomo Lawrence offers several evidence-informed approaches adapted for remote care. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories by combining guided attention with structured processing - it is often used for PTSD and other trauma-related symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist supports the client s own goals and strengths to foster growth and improved relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shlomo works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy options such as video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility - they make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel, and increase access for those who prefer remote care. Licensed professionals can effectively deliver these approaches via remote formats, and Shlomo tailors the mode of communication to what works best for each individual.
