ABOUT ME

Hello, I have been working with clients, and families, for the past 20 years. My experience includes dealing with a variety of concerns that impact their lives. I believe that who we are and what we are have been, to some degree, influenced by others which is sometimes out of our control. Who we are, our identity, can sometimes get lost and we just need a listening ear to get us back on the right path. My focus in counseling will always be that we have choices in the path we take in our lives, which empowers us to regain control of our lives: regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in while on this journey called life.

A friend of mine said to me during one of our conversations, “the time you wake up in the morning is your morning, but you need to wake up.” This is your morning because you have reached out and I am glad that you did.

I look forward to working with you

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mr Patrick Lawrence, is a very intelligent and experienced therapist who understands my concerns and needs. He also gives me good advice about my marital issues. I would recommend him to all potential clients who have experienced trauma or other issues related to family members.

Patrick is amazing. I think what truly stands out is how attentive he is! Patrick checks In regularly, notices changes in just a text and has a cool way about him that I’ve never hesitated. In 27 years, not one therapist has been able to find me so receptive and I plan on sticking around for a while

Mr. Patrick has helped me tremendously in such a short amount of time, from our first meeting. He helps me to think and rationalize my environment in a way that helps to not only understand things but sharpens my tools for potential situations. I honestly do not know where I would be without his time, care, and consideration for my well-being. I have and will continue to recommend Mr. Patrick to anyone who is in need of a spiritual, biblical, and realistic approach to the many facets life produces. Thank you so much Mr. Patrick for all that you are and do.

Patrick is fully engaged during each session. He listens to my concerns and thoughts but also makes sure to spend plenty of time offering practical advice. I learn something new every single time I talk to him. He is also very intuitive. He seems to know the type of support I need during each session when I don't even realize what would be helpful. His sincerity really comes through and I can tell that he really wants to help me.

Patrick is a wonderful therapist. He helped me overcome my anxiety after COVID last year and deal with the anxiety that came with my first pregnancy. I'm glad to say I ended my subscription because he helped me overcome my fears and live in the moment. I'd love to give him an update but can't get in contact due my subscription ending so I thought I would write this review to thank him and let him know my baby boy is doing great and will be here any week now! Life has been hectic but manageable and enjoyable thanks to the tools he gave me! Thank you Patrick!

Mr. Lawrence is a great person and is very willing to adapt his approach to my problems as they come up. He is a wealth of knowledge and listens very well. He is unlike other therapists that I have had in all the right ways. I don't feel uncomfortable talking to him about any of my issues. It doesn't feel like therapy just a conversation with an everyday person and it takes away the clinical feel to most therapy practices.
