About Lawrence
Lawrence Story is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 36 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth work that helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and life transitions. Lawrence speaks plainly and uses personal stories to connect and teach new ways of coping.
He combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. Sessions are focused on what is happening now and on small, do-able steps to reduce distress.
Background and approach
He also draws on dialectical ideas when people need help managing strong emotions and impulsive behaviors. Lawrence has led healthcare organizations and consulted for athletic teams, which has shaped his coaching style. He aims to help people find purpose, rebuild confidence, and improve how they relate to others.
He also helps with eating concerns, anger, career questions, and parenting stress. Clients can expect a collaborative plan that matches their goals and pace. Lawrence explains ideas clearly and models skills during sessions so people can try them between meetings.
He emphasizes straightforward tools that fit everyday life. He practices in Texas and works in English. His background includes leadership roles in healthcare, published work on treatment effectiveness, and a motivational book.
Lawrence combines that experience with over three decades of hands-on therapy and coaching.
Approaches that guide online care
Lawrence blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness practices. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so people can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns like impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce rumination and reactivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lawrence collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. He will explain options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan as progress or new needs emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people practice skills face-to-face; phone can be a shorter check-in with less bandwidth needed; live chat works for quick reflections between sessions; and messaging supports ongoing coaching and homework. These options help people access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
