ABOUT ME
Hello, I have been working with clients, and families, for the past 20 years. My experience includes dealing with a variety of concerns that impact their lives. I believe that who we are and what we are have been, to some degree, influenced by others which is sometimes out of our control. Who we are, our identity, can sometimes get lost and we just need a listening ear to get us back on the right path. My focus in counseling will always be that we have choices in the path we take in our lives, which empowers us to regain control of our lives: regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in while on this journey called life.
A friend of mine said to me during one of our conversations, “the time you wake up in the morning is your morning, but you need to wake up.” This is your morning because you have reached out and I am glad that you did.
I look forward to working with you

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Patrick has definitely helped me be a better me. He helped me see life with a clearer view.
Mr Patrick Lawrence, is a very intelligent and experienced therapist who understands my concerns and needs. He also gives me good advice about my marital issues. I would recommend him to all potential clients who have experienced trauma or other issues related to family members.
Patrick is amazing. I think what truly stands out is how attentive he is! Patrick checks In regularly, notices changes in just a text and has a cool way about him that I’ve never hesitated. In 27 years, not one therapist has been able to find me so receptive and I plan on sticking around for a while
My counselor, Patrick Lawrence, is very supportive and understanding. He is also proactive in giving me strategies for my healing process.
I’ve only been with Dr. Lawrence for a short time but, I’ve already made tremendous strides because he presented an air of comfort which makes it so easy to convey my inner most feelings, thoughts, and emotions. I’m extremely grateful to have him in my life at such a pivotal time. I’m excited about Becoming who I am to Become.
I’ve tried a few therapists. He’s one of the only ones to talk to me like human and not like a clinician. He’s kind and supportive without just blindly agreeing with everything you say. I feel lucky to have been paired with him!
Patrick is an awesome listener, provides tangible advice and has helped me a ton. I am excited to continue to work with him.
Very understanding. Love his smile. Makes my day and makes me feel better!
I'm glad you I chose Patrick, I feels he listens and understands me.

I love Patrick. He is very understanding and always makes me feel better
Such a kind and understanding man. I treasure our sessions.
Patrick has been absolutely incredible and supportive. I have enjoyed every meeting and look forward to continuing.
Mr. Patrick has helped me tremendously in such a short amount of time, from our first meeting. He helps me to think and rationalize my environment in a way that helps to not only understand things but sharpens my tools for potential situations. I honestly do not know where I would be without his time, care, and consideration for my well-being. I have and will continue to recommend Mr. Patrick to anyone who is in need of a spiritual, biblical, and realistic approach to the many facets life produces. Thank you so much Mr. Patrick for all that you are and do.
Patrick is fully engaged during each session. He listens to my concerns and thoughts but also makes sure to spend plenty of time offering practical advice. I learn something new every single time I talk to him. He is also very intuitive. He seems to know the type of support I need during each session when I don't even realize what would be helpful. His sincerity really comes through and I can tell that he really wants to help me.
Patrick is a wonderful therapist. He helped me overcome my anxiety after COVID last year and deal with the anxiety that came with my first pregnancy. I'm glad to say I ended my subscription because he helped me overcome my fears and live in the moment. I'd love to give him an update but can't get in contact due my subscription ending so I thought I would write this review to thank him and let him know my baby boy is doing great and will be here any week now! Life has been hectic but manageable and enjoyable thanks to the tools he gave me! Thank you Patrick!
Mr. Patrick has been extremely helpful in helping me to figure out my direction in just a few sessions. I appreciate his confidence in me and my process as well as giving guidance to help me to understand my choices. I am very much looking forward to continuing my sessions with Mr. Patrick!
Understanding, patient, relatable.
Mr. Lawrence is a great person and is very willing to adapt his approach to my problems as they come up. He is a wealth of knowledge and listens very well. He is unlike other therapists that I have had in all the right ways. I don't feel uncomfortable talking to him about any of my issues. It doesn't feel like therapy just a conversation with an everyday person and it takes away the clinical feel to most therapy practices.
Patrick is a kind and forthright counselor!
He has helped me a lot and love how he identifies my behavior and hells me bring positive change in me
Every session is very productive and Patrick is always so nice and comforting. He has helped me so much throughout these sessions and is very understanding! I feel so much happier since our sessions first started!!! Thank you!!
Patrick has been great. He's been helping me so far
He was amazing. I never had a therapy session before in my life. I needed help n didn’t know how to ask. He’s helping me. Don’t feel like I’m drowning anymore. If you thinking about him he’s the right choice. First time therapist ever in life.
He is a great councilor and really understands what I need to work on and gives great advice
Patrick really listened & understood me. I felt very comfortable talking to him.
PL is a great counselor and consistent in his messaging. He provides me light in a different aspect and I action on his advice. He asks me challenging questions to further deepen my own understanding of my struggles of why I seeked help in the first place.
Mr.Lawrence is an awesome counselor. He has helped me to see my flaws because I realize that I have a problem ,he has helped me to face and deal with my issues. Through out my sessions Mr. Lawrence has been very transparent.
