About Lawrence
Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical work in Florida. He came to therapy after his own experience finding relief in a trusting therapeutic relationship, and that experience shaped his decision to help others. He focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and regain control over daily life.
Clients meet a clinician who listens without moral judgment and who treats each person as an individual.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to uncover the roots of recurring problems, not just manage symptoms. Anton emphasizes building a steady therapeutic relationship where sensitive topics can be talked through openly. His practice draws on psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences shape present feelings, combined with cognitive-behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
He also uses attachment-based work to look at how relationships affect emotional health and EMDR for trauma when appropriate. These methods are used within a client-centered framework that keeps the relationship central. Anton has experience supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and grief.
He also works with concerns such as intimacy, parenting stress, LGBT issues, self-esteem, career strain, and coping with life changes. He aims to help people find practical steps toward feeling steadier and more in charge of their lives. Sessions are tailored to each person and their goals.
Anton encourages hopeful, realistic progress and helps clients discover what works for them as they move toward clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning.

Approachable therapies for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviors, and it helps when relationship patterns cause stress or repeated hurt. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore problems and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression and day-to-day struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods seem most useful based on symptoms, goals and personal preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and needs evolve, and sessions will reflect that ongoing conversation.
Online formats offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a more personal connection helps, phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging suits frequent brief support or ongoing reflections. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to match the format to what works best for daily life.
