Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi, LMHC

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of practice. He came to the work after finding his own therapist in midlife, and that experience shaped his wish to help others find relief from long-standing pain. He aims to help people get faster relief from upsetting symptoms by uncovering their causes and working through them together.

Anton listens with curiosity and compassion. He centers the relationship with each person and avoids moral judgment. His work focuses on helping people gain control over symptoms and move toward the life they want.

He blends a psychodynamic outlook with practical cognitive-behavioral techniques inside a client-centered frame. That means he pays attention to past patterns, offers skills-based strategies, and keeps the person's goals at the center of the work.

Anton has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, grief, intimacy and LGBT issues. He also supports people facing parenting strains, career crossroads, anger, self-esteem problems, and midlife transitions.

His background includes focused clinical work with trauma, mood and personality concerns, substance use and co-occurring conditions. He also has knowledge working with men, adolescent males, recent mothers and transgender clients. He welcomes clients who prefer to work in English and accepts international clients.

Approaches that guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. It looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more secure ways of relating, which can ease anxiety and trust issues.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and personal goals. The therapist offers empathic listening and supports people as they decide what changes matter most in their lives.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression and many everyday problems by practicing new strategies between sessions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and symptoms to find which methods feel right. That plan can change over time as progress and needs shift.

If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people attend from different time zones, which supports international clients seeking help.
