About Lawrence
Lawrence Story is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas with 36 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. He also works with career strain, parenting pressures, and life changes.
Lawrence frames therapy around clear practical steps. He draws on years leading healthcare teams and running workshops to teach skills and structure. Sessions focus on actionable tools clients can try between meetings rather than only talking about feelings.
He blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas. That means listening to what matters to the client, identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, and practicing skills for handling intense feelings. Mindfulness and existential themes also show up when people want to examine meaning or purpose.
Lawrence often uses personal stories and real-world examples to illustrate points. He describes his approach as direct and instructional - a mix of coaching and therapy. This can help people who want concrete strategies for impulse control, communication, or managing resentment.
His background includes leadership roles in healthcare organizations and experience running wellness and fitness workshops. He has written on recovery and treatment approaches, and brings that practical, results-focused perspective into clinical work. People looking to reduce outbursts, handle workplace frustration, or rebuild trust often find this style straightforward and focused.
How sessions work
How his methods translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities and uses listening and reflection to guide changes. Online sessions can preserve that collaborative stance while letting the therapist and client agree what to focus on each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. In tele-sessions the therapist helps identify unhelpful thinking, plans small behavioral experiments, and reviews homework between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those skills can be taught, demonstrated, and practiced in virtual sessions so clients can use them during real-life moments. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients choose or combine methods based on their goals, how they prefer to learn, and what problems they want to address. That collaboration shapes session focus and pacing. The biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let the therapist assign and review practical exercises between meetings to support steady progress.Areas of focus
