Getting to know Lawrence McDaniel

Hi there, I'm Lawrence! I'm Larry McDaniel, MSW, LCSW, and I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Missouri. My approach to therapy is centered on building a trusting, empathetic relationship where clients feel safe to explore their emotions, experiences, and goals. I specialize in helping individuals manage anger, anxiety, and behavioral issues, often using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together, we work toward developing practical strategies for emotional regulation, fostering healthier relationships, and improving overall quality of life. My approach My therapy style is rooted in creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered to explore their challenges and goals. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship, ensuring that each individual's unique experiences and perspectives are honored. The most common theoretical approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients understand and reshape the thought patterns influencing their emotions and behaviors, as well as trauma-informed and person-centered methods that emphasize empathy, empowerment, and resilience. My focus I typically work with youth and adults navigating challenges related to anxiety, anger management, trauma, and grief. Many of my clients have experienced difficult life transitions, religious trauma, or adverse childhood experiences and are seeking guidance in developing healthier coping skills and relationships. I feel most comfortable treating conditions where emotional regulation, stress reduction, and healing from past trauma are central to the therapeutic process.
