About Lawrence

Lawrence "Larry" Fisch is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 29 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as panic attacks and social anxiety.

Larry helps people who feel stuck after major changes in work, relationships, or health. He guides conversations about life purpose, isolation, guilt and shame, and the strain that comes with communication or control problems. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than vague talk about feelings.

In clinical work he supports recovery after traumatic events and helps people manage panic and post-traumatic stress symptoms. He also assists those moving through divorce or separation and people trying to rebuild trust in themselves after hurtful experiences.

A common thread in his practice is examining how habits, relationships, and past events shape current choices. He helps people practice better communication and build routines that reduce anxiety. He also offers ways to address body image concerns and strengthen self-regard.

Larry describes his role as a collaborator who listens, asks direct questions, and suggests techniques to test between sessions. He expects practical follow-through and often sets small goals people can try before the next meeting. This straightforward approach is meant to help with day-to-day functioning while also addressing bigger questions about purpose and direction.

Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques commonly used in practice include cognitive-behavioral methods, which focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This approach is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and managing day-to-day stress.

Another approach often used is trauma-focused work that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. That work usually combines careful discussion of past events with grounding and coping strategies to manage symptoms between sessions.

Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be changed if needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals, including this LCSW, can use remote sessions to support ongoing progress and to test strategies that people can practice in everyday life.
