Approaches that guide online work

Lawrence often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means conversations focus on the client’s goals and strengths while the therapist listens and reflects to help people find their path. This approach helps with broad concerns like stress, relationship tension, and confidence issues.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some addiction-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your needs, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend options and adjust the plan as you progress. Decisions about pace and techniques are made collaboratively.

Confirm the platform and session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use practices like CBT worksheets or mindfulness exercises between conversations to support change.
