Remote options tailored to clinical goals
Lawrence offers online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow him to apply Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clarify links among thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and to introduce concrete exercises for managing stress and anxiety between sessions.
He also integrates interpersonal and trauma-informed perspectives into remote work. Interpersonal approaches focus on patterns in relationships and communication, which can be explored through conversation in video or phone sessions. Trauma-informed and somatic-informed elements attend to how stress shows up in the body; Lawrence may introduce grounding or tracking practices that translate to brief live chat check-ins or text prompts for in-the-moment use.
Sessions are collaborative and adapted to each person’s preferences. The range of communication options supports ongoing contact and flexible planning while allowing the clinician and client to decide together which combination of video, phone, chat, or messaging best fits the therapeutic goals.
