About Lance

Lance Nabers is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of clinical experience. He holds the LMHC and LPC credentials and practices from Texas while working with people across multiple states. He meets people where they are and helps them sort through immediate struggles and longer-term goals.

He focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, sleep and eating issues, and the ups and downs of relationships. He also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, and career or life changes. Jealousy and intimacy-related concerns are among the relationship issues he helps people talk through.

Lance uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. He uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps despite difficult emotions.

His style is direct but compassionate. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clear steps that clients can try between meetings. He also pays attention to attachment patterns and relational dynamics when relationships are part of the concern.

People who prefer a collaborative, goal-oriented approach often find this useful. Lance invites clients to set priorities together and adjusts the work as needs change. To begin, he asks new clients to use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on values and small actions that add meaning, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change them, which is useful for anxiety, sleep or eating problems, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationship patterns affect present connections and can guide work on intimacy and relational trust.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist works together with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That collaboration guides whether more skills training, values work, or relationship-focused exploration will be emphasized.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and can reduce travel time. It can also allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions without video when that helps concentration, or steady weekly meetings that keep momentum between in-person visits.
