About Lawrence

Lawrence Losoncy is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who draws on decades of experience to help families and relationships. He focuses on practical, usable guidance parents and caregivers can try right away. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth, with clear suggestions and steps a family member can take between meetings.

Lawrence works with people who face relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and stress. He also supports concerns like anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, anger, sleeping problems, and issues around intimacy.

Background and approach

He has experience with adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, autism and Asperger syndrome, and other family-related concerns. For many years Lawrence has used client-centered conversations alongside structured methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally focused approaches. He listens, offers his observations, and helps build a concrete plan when that fits the family’s needs.

Sessions often leave people with specific suggestions to try at home. Lawrence has written several books on family life, child development, marriage, and healing from spiritual wounds, and he has worked with tribal agencies in Oklahoma as an Indian Child Welfare Director. His license is held in Oklahoma and he brings 46 years of practice to the work.

He offers therapy in English and is able to work with people internationally. Parents and caregivers who want direct, straightforward help for family problems often choose his practical style of therapy.

How therapeutic methods translate to online family care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, giving parents and caregivers space to describe their situation while the therapist reflects understanding and helps them find their own solutions. This approach is helpful when families need a supportive place to make sense of conflict and decide what to try next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and family interactions. The therapist helps identify patterns, teach simple skills, and set small experiments to change unhelpful habits, which is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep issues, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets connection and attachment in relationships by helping people name emotions and respond differently to one another, which can help repair closeness and improve communication.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to the family’s concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. That plan can change over time based on what is most helpful, and the work is done together rather than imposed.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allow busy caregivers to work on issues from home. These formats make scheduling more flexible and let parents try strategies in their real-life context while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
