Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi, LMHC

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years of practice in Florida. He came to therapy after his own experience finding relief through a strong therapeutic relationship, and that personal journey shaped his choice to become a clinician. Anton focuses on helping people reduce distress and regain control over everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of living.

He listens with gentle curiosity and seeks to understand problems from each person's point of view. Sessions prioritize a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about sensitive and painful issues. The goal is practical relief from symptoms while also addressing the causes that keep problems going.

Anton blends a psychodynamic orientation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and places the client-therapist relationship at the center of work. He uses person-centered principles to tailor strategies to each person's needs. That can mean learning new thought patterns, changing unhelpful habits, or working through deeper relational themes.

He has focused experience helping adults and adolescents with trauma, depression, mood and personality concerns, substance use and co-occurring disorders. He also works with issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, intimacy and self-esteem.

Clients who connect with Anton tend to want a thoughtful, steady clinician who combines listening with concrete steps. He encourages people to find clearer meaning, reduce symptoms, and build routines that support healthier thoughts and habits.

How his approaches translate to online work

Anton regularly uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they connect and respond to others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the client's lead so they can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete skills to change them and reduce symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That way the approach fits the person's needs, preferences, and real-life routines.

Confirm the available online session options before booking because specific formats were not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For many people this helps them practice new thinking and habits between sessions and keep therapy part of everyday life.
