About Lawrence

Lawrence Losoncy is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers his work on helping individuals navigate relationship and family challenges using an empathic, practical approach.

Background and approach

With 46 years of clinical experience and a focus on Internal Family Systems alongside other evidence-informed methods, he guides clients toward clearer understanding of how emotions, beliefs, and relational patterns influence daily life. He also brings long experience addressing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, addictions, anxiety, depression, and stress.

Losoncy has supported parents and caregivers of children with developmental differences, including those on the autism spectrum, and has worked with adoption and foster care-related matters, blended family issues, and family conflict. He offers perspective-informed recommendations and collaborates with clients to create actionable plans they can apply between sessions.

AAMFT fellowship, decades of practice, and several published books on family life and relationships inform his pragmatic style and resource-based guidance. Based in Oklahoma and licensed as an LMFT, he accepts clients in English and is available to international clients as well.

His approach emphasizes listening first, offering clear observations, and shaping a plan that fits each client's needs and values.

Blending evidence-based methods with online flexibility

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps clients explore internal parts and the relationships among them, making it possible to work with conflicting feelings or self-protective patterns that show up in relationships and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so that clients lead the pace of change and feel understood as they identify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress and improve coping skills.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and he approaches this collaboratively. Together with each client he reviews goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, then adjusts the plan so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexible ways to stay engaged without needing to travel to appointments. These formats make it easier for clients to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities and to access consistent support from a licensed professional across distances.
