About Lawrence
Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. He came to this work after his own experience finding relief in therapy, and he says that relationship shaped his decision to become a counselor. He focuses on helping people reduce symptoms and find clearer causes for their pain.
Anton listens with curiosity and compassion. He aims to understand each person's experience from their point of view.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize an honest, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about painful or confusing issues and test new ways of handling them. His day-to-day practice blends a psychodynamic outlook with practical cognitive-behavioral tools. He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behavior.
Those methods are used together to help people learn new responses and regain control over symptoms. Anton has worked with adults and adolescents on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and grief. He also supports people facing relationship stress, parenting strain, career decisions, and changes tied to aging or caregiver roles.
Sessions may address complex challenges like co-occurring disorders, dissociation, codependency, and compassion fatigue. He emphasizes finding the causes behind symptoms and helping each person build a path toward the life they want. People meet with him to talk through immediate relief strategies and longer term patterns.
He combines listening, practical techniques, and a steady therapeutic relationship to guide that process.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can be used to explore patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy, giving people space to tell their story and find their own solutions through a supportive therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to pick methods that match the person's goals and needs. Over the first sessions they will try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan together.
Online therapy with this practitioner is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when video bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing processing between sessions, and flexibility for busy schedules or different time zones.
These options make therapy easier to fit into work, school, caregiving, or travel, while keeping a consistent connection with a licensed professional who helps guide treatment choices.
