About Lawrence

Lawrence Algiene is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people untangle painful relationships and reactions. He aims to help clients notice patterns between thoughts, actions, and values so they can make clearer choices. Lawrence writes plainly and works to turn insight into steady, believable action that fits a person’s life.

He believes healing begins with awareness. Lawrence guides people to recognize how past hurts and present situations shape responses.

Background and approach

That understanding becomes the basis for practical changes people can maintain over time. Sessions move from understanding to committed steps. Lawrence supports clients as they practice new behaviors that build self-respect and motivation.

He emphasizes small wins that feel real rather than polished fixes. His practice addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting, compassion fatigue, and family concerns. He also helps with divorce and separation, guilt and shame, life purpose, money and financial issues, and post-traumatic stress.

Lawrence brings 19 years of professional experience to his work and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. He practices in Colorado and conducts sessions in English. The approach is straightforward and focused on helping people move from awareness to action.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Lawrence uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that begin with awareness and move toward concrete action. One common approach he emphasizes is trauma-informed work, which helps people understand how past traumatic events shape current reactions and relationships. This approach can reduce reactivity and make it easier to choose new responses.

He also focuses on behavior-based interventions that break down change into small, repeatable steps. These techniques help with addictions, parenting patterns, and building consistent habits tied to personal values. By practicing specific behaviors in everyday life, clients gradually build believable change.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to goals, notice what matters most, and adjust methods together so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences. That partnership helps make therapy practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around busy lives and to use brief check-ins or longer conversations as needed. For many people, remote care helps maintain continuity while working toward steady progress.
