Lawrence Algiene

Lawrence Algiene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 19 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people make sense of difficult relationships, trauma, and life transitions. His work often centers on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and personal values to help clients move toward clearer choices and steadier daily life.

He begins by helping people build awareness of how past hurts shape current reactions. That awareness becomes the basis for small, believable actions that add up over time. He frames this as practical work that strengthens honesty, self-esteem, and sustained motivation.

Sessions emphasize understanding relational trauma and the situational problems that follow. Lawrence supports people dealing with addictions, compassion fatigue, parenting strains, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. He also addresses concerns around divorce and separation, guilt and shame, money and financial stress, life purpose, and post-traumatic stress.

Lawrence aims to guide people toward choices that feel real and doable. He uses plain language in session and focuses on steps clients can try between meetings. Clients who want clear connections between their values and daily actions may find his approach helpful.

He practices in Colorado and works in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Lawrence describes his approach as focused on awareness and actionable change. Two evidence-based ideas that match that approach are skills-focused work and trauma-informed care. Skills-focused work teaches specific strategies to manage thoughts and behaviors, which helps with addictions, parenting stress, and everyday urges. Trauma-informed care pays attention to how past harm shapes current reactions and emphasizes pacing and safety as changes are tried.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He will discuss options with each person and recommend techniques that fit their goals and comfort. That decision is collaborative and can shift as sessions progress based on what is working.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, offer quicker check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also allow shorter or more frequent sessions for focused issues like managing urges or checking progress after a separation. Talk with the therapist when you schedule so you can pick a format and rhythm that match your needs and daily life.
