About Lance
Lance Nabers is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 20 years of clinical experience to his work in Texas. He holds LMHC and LPC credentials and has supported people through a wide range of life challenges. He meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce distress and build coping skills.
He works with common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. He also helps with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career issues, and mood differences like bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
He pays attention to how life changes and loss affect daily functioning. His style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions often involve talking through immediate problems, learning hands-on tools, and testing small changes between meetings.
He uses approaches that emphasize values, behavior change, and emotional regulation to help people regain a sense of control. Lance also addresses areas like body image, ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, attachment concerns, and issues tied to adoption or abandonment. He is comfortable discussing topics related to sexuality and alternative relationship cultures when they come up in treatment.
People who prefer practical guidance and steady support tend to find his approach helpful. He aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space and to tailor work to each person’s goals and daily life demands.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Lance uses several evidence-informed methods that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values while learning to accept uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behavior.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. Methods are adjusted over time based on what helps most in real life.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep regular momentum while fitting sessions into work, caregiving, or other routines.
