Steven Lawrence, LCPC

Steven Lawrence is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling who brings six years of clinical experience to a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and parenting challenges. He is also trained to support people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse, and he integrates that experience into individualized care.

His work is consent based and adapted to each person’s needs, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. He draws from cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychodynamic ideas, and somatic methods to create an integrated approach that addresses thoughts, emotions, and bodily experience together.

Steven understands symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and anger as meaningful signals that something in a person’s life or relationships is out of balance. He often explores how early relational experiences or environmental failures can lead to survival strategies like perfectionism, overgiving, or emotional disconnection. Those coping patterns can feel necessary at first but later become barriers to feeling connected and alive.

His practice focuses on identifying the core dilemmas that underlie presenting problems and guiding clients through the work of processing emotional wounds and developing more effective ways of coping. Steven offers a thoughtful, trauma-informed stance that seeks to honor each person’s experience while supporting practical steps toward change.
