Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi , LMHC

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who combines compassion, clinical knowledge, and a client-centered focus to help people move beyond persistent psychological pain. He believes that relief often begins when the underlying causes of distress are uncovered and addressed within a trusting therapeutic relationship. Drawing on his own life experience of finding healing through therapy, he brings a deep commitment to creating a space where sensitive, confusing, and painful issues can be explored without moral judgment.

He listens with professional curiosity to understand each person from their own perspective and works to help clients discover practical strategies for symptom relief and long-term growth. While oriented toward psychodynamic approaches, he integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques within a person-centered framework that places the client-therapist relationship at the center of treatment. This blend supports clients in gaining control over symptoms and moving toward a more authentic, fulfilling life.

He has particular experience working with men and adolescent males, recent mothers and mothers with adolescent boys, mature adults, and people dealing with gay, lesbian, and transgender issues. He also has specialized training in treating trauma, depression, mood and personality disorders, substance use and co-occurring concerns, and men's issues. He emphasizes practical progress, hope, and each client’s unique path out of pain into greater wholeness.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi uses several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and behaviors - it helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment, intimacy, and relationship patterns to develop more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration; it creates a respectful, nonjudgmental environment that supports self-exploration and personal growth across many concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is especially useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods over time so therapy fits each person’s situation and pace.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make consistent care more accessible. Licensed professionals can provide meaningful support and therapeutic progress through these formats, helping clients engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily lives.
