About Lawrence

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. He entered the field after his own experience with a transformative therapeutic relationship and now focuses on helping clients identify the roots of psychological pain so they can move toward relief.

Background and approach

His work emphasizes building a trusting therapeutic connection as the foundation for exploring difficult, confusing, or painful issues. He blends a psychodynamic orientation with person-centered goals, integrating cognitive behavioral techniques and other evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and underlying causes.

He listens with curiosity and compassion, aiming to reduce judgment while supporting clients as they reclaim control over symptoms and pursue the life they want. He has developed particular experience with trauma, mood and personality difficulties, substance-use and co-occurring disorders, and issues related to gender and sexuality.

Lawrence prioritizes a practical, hopeful approach that helps clients discover individualized paths out of distress and toward greater wholeness.

Approaches in Online Work and What to Expect

Lawrence integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress, while offering concrete tools for coping and problem solving. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that developed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional regulation, which can be especially useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then selects or combines methods that fit each person’s situation. Clients are invited to shape their care through ongoing feedback so the therapeutic path can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home or while traveling and allow clients to choose the format that best supports their engagement and consistency in care.
