Lawrence Flynn, LCSW, LICSW — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Lawrence!

Relationship & Couple Strategist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving MA, VA, FL, and WY. I help couples strengthen their relationship connections by using the RENEW and Gottman Methods. I provide clinical support for individuals experiencing anxiety, overthinking, rumination, and ADHD. Air Force veteran providing trauma and PTSD services.

My focus

With 30 years of experience, I help individuals and couples strengthen relationships, manage anxiety, and navigate life transitions. I treat anxiety, overthinking, ADHD, trauma, and PTSD, building emotional regulation and clarity. I also offer Success Coaching for executives and athletes.

My approach

I use a client-centered, evidence-based approach integrating CBT, DBT, functional health, and neuroscience-informed strategies. I help clients regulate emotions, reduce overthinking, and build practical skills to improve relationships, resilience, and daily functioning.

My communication style

I provide a supportive, strengths-based, and goal-oriented environment. Sessions build insight and practical skills for lasting change. Clients feel understood, appropriately challenged, and guided with clear strategies that support meaningful transformation.

My journey to mental healthcare

My work is driven by a passion for helping people create meaningful change. With a background in clinical care and healthcare leadership, I bring an innovative, collaborative approach focused on improving outcomes, strengthening relationships, and supporting long-term well-being.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting through intention-based discovery and restorative growth. By clarifying values, desires, and challenges, clients gain insight to make better decisions, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change aligned with a purposeful life.

Our first session

During the first session, we begin with brief introductions and a focused discussion of your concerns, goals, and priorities. Together, we develop a clear, individualized plan to guide our work, ensuring sessions are purposeful, collaborative, and aligned with your needs.
