About Lawrence
Lawrence Story uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and life changes. He brings 36 years of professional experience and a down-to-earth style to sessions.
Background and approach
Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, listed as LMFT, practicing in Texas and working in English. He centers conversations on what matters to each person.
Sessions focus on real problems and concrete steps rather than jargon. Lawrence draws on Client-Centered approaches to listen closely and understand a person’s priorities before suggesting changes.
He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for managing intense emotions and improving coping when stress or impulsivity is high.
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with grounding and attention when anxiety or rumination interfere with daily life. Lawrence’s background includes leadership roles in healthcare and decades of coaching and teaching.
He often frames work around life stories and practical examples to make change feel doable. His experience also includes work on addiction, body image concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and work-related burnout.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative goal-setting, and tools to use between sessions. Lawrence aims to help people regain a sense of choice and direction while they cope with grief, career shifts, mood struggles, or questions about life purpose.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes what the client brings up and helps shape goals that feel important and doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that maintain problems; it works well over video or phone when clients want tools to use between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides practical skills for managing strong emotions and impulsivity and can be practiced through guided exercises during a call or via text check-ins.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to pick methods that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying a mix of listening-based work, CBT exercises, or DBT skills and adjusting as the client notices what helps most.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls let the therapist use visual cues and share worksheets. Phone sessions can be simpler when video isn’t an option or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different day-to-day demands.
