About Lawrence
Lawrence Story is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 36 years of clinical experience. He blends straightforward conversation with practical tools to help people facing anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, and depression. Lawrence uses real-life examples to make therapy feel relatable and down-to-earth.
He draws on client-centered work to meet people where they are, and on cognitive behavioral methods to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when regulating strong emotions and building coping skills.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and existential ideas help clients reconnect with meaning and values. Lawrence’s background includes leadership roles in healthcare and consulting. Those roles shaped a problem-solving focus and an emphasis on coaching toward clear goals.
He also brings life experience from athletics, fitness, and wellness work to conversations about motivation and habit change. Sessions are aimed at practical change rather than jargon. Lawrence listens, reflects, and offers step-by-step strategies clients can try between meetings.
He often uses stories and simple frameworks to make new ideas easier to use in daily life. People who reach out can expect a collaborative, compassionate approach that balances empathy with direct guidance. He supports work on relationship concerns, family-of-origin patterns, self-esteem, body image, ADHD-related struggles, and finding purpose after transitions.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lawrence often uses client-centered work to build a trusting conversation where the person’s priorities guide the session. That approach focuses on listening closely and adapting to what each person brings. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to notice and change patterns of thought and behavior that feed anxiety, depression, or addiction. CBT helps break problems into small, manageable steps and creates clear practice tasks.Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there they decide together whether to focus on skill building, emotion regulation, mindfulness, or a mix of methods that fits the situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between appointments.
