About Me

Based in Toronto, Larry is a registered social worker and psychotherapist who helps adults, couples, and families reduce anxiety and depression, strengthen communication, and create durable relationship habits. His integrative training spans CBT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, all grounded in a collaborative, client-centred approach.

What makes Larry a meaningful fit for Offline.now is his focus on digital mindfulness – helping people build healthier relationships with technology through awareness, intentionality, and restorative pauses. He draws inspiration from the Tech Shabbat practice – unplugging one day each week to reconnect with presence, creativity, and human connection – and guides clients in adapting this ritual into modern life.

Larry’s approach turns evidence-based therapy into everyday systems for digital balance: clear, compassionate conversations about screen use at home, routines that restore attention and calm, and structures that support accountability and real-world connection.

In addition to his individual and couples work, Larry facilitates therapy and psychoeducation groups, including a men’s emotional well-being series and an adult ADHD/procrastination group, where community becomes the catalyst for sustainable change.

Are Snapchat and TikTok actually dangerous for teens? The real risk isn’t the apps themselves—it’s how they blur privacy, permanence, and performance in ways adolescent brains aren’t equipped to manage. Drawing on clinical work and lived parenting experience, this post explains how online harm often unfolds, why shame makes safety worse, and how families can use practical, non-judgmental tools to help teens protect their agency, make safer choices, and ask for help before mistakes become permanent.
