Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi , LMHC

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings a committed, relationship-focused approach to helping people reduce psychological pain and regain control over their lives. He draws on personal experience of finding healing through a meaningful therapeutic relationship, an experience that helped shape his vocational passion for guiding others through similar journeys of recovery and growth.

Feriozzi works from a psychodynamic orientation while integrating cognitive-behavioral strategies within a person-centered framework that emphasizes the therapeutic bond. He listens with professional curiosity and compassion to understand each person from their own perspective, free of moral judgment, and supports clients as they identify underlying causes of distress rather than just treating symptoms. He aims to offer practical approaches that bring timely relief while also helping clients build lasting skills for emotional well-being.

He has specific experience working with men, adolescent males, recent mothers, mothers with adolescent boys, mature adults, gay and lesbian clients, and transgender clients. He also has specialized training in treating trauma, depression, mood and personality disorders, substance-abuse and co-occurring conditions, and issues commonly encountered by men. Feriozzi prioritizes helping clients discover a unique pathway out of pain into greater wholeness and toward the authentic life they want to lead.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and relational patterns shape current feelings and behaviors. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment, intimacy, or repeating unhealthy relationship cycles by exploring how attachment needs and defenses developed over time.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client is treated as the expert on their own experience. This approach supports self-exploration, increasing self-esteem, and making choices that align with personal values and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive alternatives. CBT is effective for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier for clients in different locations to access licensed professionals. These options allow therapy to continue consistently and conveniently while maintaining the focus on meaningful progress and therapeutic connection.
