About Lance

Lance Nabers is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. He practices from Texas and has worked with people across several states, bringing long-term clinical experience to everyday challenges. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction, relationships, and trauma.

Clients meet a calm, straightforward professional who listens first. Sessions are aimed at clear goals like better sleep, steadier mood, or improved communication. Lance uses tools that help people change thoughts and habits, build healthier attachments, and manage strong emotions.

He draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-based thinking. That mix helps address issues like grief, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. Work can include skill practice, values clarification, and looking at how past experiences shape current patterns.

Over two decades he has supported people through addiction recovery, bipolar and depression management, and compassion fatigue. He also assists those handling career stress, caregiving burdens, chronic illness, and identity or intimacy concerns. The emphasis is on practical steps that fit daily life.

Lance aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk openly. He helps clients set achievable goals and try new ways of handling problems. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

How these therapy methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and making consistent changes in daily habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past relationships shape current connection patterns and supports more secure ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That conversation can include trying a few techniques and adjusting what is used based on what helps most.

Confirm the specific session options before you book, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a lunch break, or not needing to travel can free up time for regular appointments. Licensed professionals often use methods like skill coaching, values exercises, and emotion regulation practice in remote sessions to help people change thoughts and everyday habits.
