More about me

Licensing: LMFT, LMSW Years in Practice: 36 State: California

I have over three decades as a leader by inspiring, coaching, speaking, and most importantly, leading by example, my views have been uniquely and carefully shaped. I embrace my “in the trenches” clinical approach and believe that leadership is a conscious decision made moment to moment, it supersedes gender, culture, position, or socio-economic status. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone and every day…it’s how we should live.

I am often referred to as a “Professor” for my ability to teach a group how to bring hope out of questionable times. I use “Frame of references” to bring clarity to change real-life circumstances where the loss of hope and fear have been predominant. The fusion of my personal stories through conversation helps me connect with my audience and clients on an intimate, intense, and individual level.

I have served as Chief Executive Officer and /or a Senior Consultant for public and privately traded Healthcare organizations.

In addition to being a Licensed Psychotherapist, Licensed Marriage Therapist, and Licensed Family Therapist, Certified in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, Certified Personal Trainer and past owner of Lake Houston Gym and Fitness, I am the author of Living in Green Pastures with Life Storys, a published inspiration/motivational book, and co-publisher of “Treatment Effectiveness in Adult Partial Hospitalization”.

Before my leadership efforts, I was a competitive collegiate football athlete and a champion both nationally and internationally in bodybuilding, health and fitness. I currently hold over 27 titles in bodybuilding and have conducted numerous workshops on Wellness / Fitness. Finally, I am a former consulting therapist for the National Basketball Association and served on the board of advisors for The Shoulder, Inc., Harris County, and awarded past Outstanding Young Men in America.

I look forward to meeting you and designing a plan to help you meet your personal goals now and in the future.

The Best,

Lawrence Story

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lawrence has guided me and my family through a critical "moment in time." He as been dignified and direct in his counsel. Creating the right amount of space for discussion, listening and directing me both in pragmatic matters as well as working on changing my perspectives and habits. His life experience is something he brings in at times that has been immeasurably valuable to me. He has been a life-changer and been life-giving for me.

Lawrence has really helped me to see I am not a lost cause and that I am human, if nothing else. He has helped me to stop 'beating myself up so bad' emotionally and mentally.. I have never had anyone to help me my entire llife. But BetterHelp and Lawrence have been a tremendous help.
