About Lawrence
Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a licensed mental health counselor with seven years of clinical work in Florida. He focuses on helping people find relief from persistent symptoms and regain control over day-to-day life. Anton emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship as the starting point for change.
He came to this work after his own experience with therapy in midlife. That experience shaped his belief that many problems last because their causes remain hidden.
Background and approach
He aims to help clients uncover those causes so they can move forward with less pain. Anton blends a psychodynamic outlook with practical cognitive-behavioral tools inside a person-centered approach. Sessions often mix reflection about past patterns with concrete steps to manage anxiety, mood, or addictive behaviors.
He listens carefully and asks questions that clarify how a problem shows up in daily life. He has experience with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and LGBT matters. He also pays attention to attachment, abandonment, caregiver strain, and co-occurring problems that complicate recovery.
Clients can expect a calm, curious clinician who supports them without moral judgment. The work focuses on discovering practical strategies and personal insights that lead to fewer symptoms and more choice in how life unfolds.
Approach and online options that fit your life
The therapist uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns, which can help when anxiety, abandonment fears, or relationship issues repeat. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. These approaches are aimed at both understanding why problems started and at changing what keeps them going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep the face-to-face feel while avoiding travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or when a shorter contact fits better into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life and keep continuity between sessions.
