About Lawrence

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who brings seven years of clinical experience to his work in Florida. He focuses on helping people find relief from symptoms like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and stress. He emphasizes practical steps toward feeling better while keeping discussions respectful and nonjudgmental.

He draws on his own life experience to stay grounded and empathic in sessions. Anton builds a relationship where clients can speak about painful or confusing topics.

Background and approach

He listens closely and asks curious, caring questions to understand each person’s story. That relationship is central to his approach before using specific techniques or strategies. His work blends psychodynamic ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered principles.

He also offers Attachment-Based Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Anton uses these tools to address symptoms and to dig into patterns that keep problems going. Clients come for help with addiction, bipolar disorder, coping with major life changes, intimacy and sexual issues, anger, and low self-esteem among other concerns.

He has experience with LGBT issues, men’s concerns, older adult needs, and caregiver stress. He makes treatment plans based on each person’s goals and situation. Sessions are focused on practical change and on helping clients discover what works for them.

Anton aims to reduce suffering and help people build a life that feels more authentic and manageable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and trust. Online sessions use discussion and reflection to notice patterns in relationships and to practice new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and turn them into clearer, more useful thinking. In web or phone sessions, the therapist and client use concrete exercises and homework to change thinking and behavior between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will listen to concerns and goals, then suggest methods that fit the person’s needs. Choices are made together and can change over time as the client notices what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, offer quick ways to check in between appointments, and let people work from wherever they are. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide regular, ongoing care and to adjust the pace and tools to each client’s life and goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
