More about Lawrence
- 36 years' experience
- Male
- LMFT
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

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.

I could go many directions expressing my gratitude to Mr. Lawrence. I admire everything about him. What makes my experience even greater is that he is so RELATABLE!!!
I’m so blessed to have Mr. Story. He is just who I needed.
Mr. Story is amazing. I'm like a younger version of him it seems like. He gives me such sound advise on the things I'm going through whether it's in my marriage or individual life. I tried two other therapists but Lawrence Story is the best.
Lawrence has a great deal of experience in many areas -- mental, physical and spiritual
Lawrence Story is very professional and he knows what he is doing. He is a great therapist.
Every session is productive and insightful! I’m glad to be working with such a seasoned professional!
Very professional and makes you feel comfortable!
I believe Dr. Story very informative and in tune with his clients. He reads all journal entries and commended me for my writing and shared that I have a very reflective thought process when I journal. I broke down in tears, because he saw the best in me I couldn't see it for myself. Dr. Story does a wonderful job of wrapping sessions up with positive things from the session. This gives me positive affirmations and a sense of accomplishment. I am very appreciative to be pair with Dr. Story as a therapist.
Mr. Story has been a blessing since I started therapy. His prompt, and really knows how to help come up with solutions. I can be myseld and ive never felt judged. I recommend him and better help to anyway in need. Thank you Mr. story

Mr. Story is the best hands down I have had plenty of therapists and he is my favorite. I would recommend him to anyone

I feel as if I’m making more progress the last few sessions. It takes time to develop rapport with a counselor
A dedicated man to his profession. Well studied and informative
He’s very professional, highly knowledgeable, quick to identify key issues, promptly responsive, and best of all, caring. This entry field does not possess enough space to list all the valuable qualities he possesses . I am glad to have chosen him as my therapist. Choosing him as my therapist is one of the wisest choices I ever made in my life. 10/10, I highly recommend.
Lawrence has helped me in many ways but especially in my way of coping and reacting to change and anxiety. I am changed and for the better thank you Lawrence

The best not much more I can say about Mr.Lawrence Story he listens, very helpful, and gives great advice. I would recommend him to anyone who really is on a journey to heal themselves.
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.
❤️Mr, Story is beyond Amazing! His calm demeanor & wisdom is healing all on its own. He makes me feel safe; and increases my Faith to believe and know everything will be alright. Thank you MrStory! I’m grateful for You!
Lawrence has the ability to hear what's said and not said, and seemingly effortlessly address issues with a fine-tooth comb. I needed someone with his attention to detail, conscientiousness, expertise, and professionalism. I'm grateful!
He does an excellent job at communicating what is needed and executing that task at hand.
Great therapist. Very understanding. Offers varying points of view. Good listener.
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.
Great therapist!
