More about Lawrence
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
As a therapist and counselor, I have more than 25 years of experience as well as many years in program development, administration, and counseling.
I have worked with nearly all populations with the exception of small children. I see my work as a functional support for the client and or family system so that I am seeking any way possible that I can support, the individual, couple, or family to improve their quality of life in the short term. Because of my long term experience in many different settings, I work hard to listen closely to the person seeking help and support best to understand their view of the problem and what they most want to improve in their life.
My goal is to develop a healing relationship that offers safety and support.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He’s a good person
Great person and very understanding
Such a wonderful therapist with many years of valuable experience! He listens and gives outstanding perspectives!
So far so good
I like Larry. He seems like he knows what he's doing but feels a little like he's going through the motions at first. I think his demeanor and mine don't really mesh as I am a pretty upbeat person and he's a little mellow. Like, he's a little too minimal for me, character wise, because I'm so animated and crack jokes often, whether they're funny or not haha. So if we need someone who really knows this stuff and has a really calm attitude, Larry's your person!
Lawrence (Larry) really listens and appreciate his feedback for future growth
