About Lance

Lance Nabers is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience. He practices in Texas and has worked with people in several states, bringing long-term clinical experience to everyday worries. He aims to make therapy clear and approachable for people seeking change.

He listens to each person's story and helps them sort through what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than jargon. Common topics include stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and managing life transitions.

Lance uses a mix of methods to fit each person’s needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions.

People often bring questions about parenting, work stress, sleep, and self-esteem. He also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, adoption and foster care concerns, ADHD, autism-related challenges, and sexuality-related topics like kink and BDSM culture. The approach stays focused on the individual’s goals.

The sessions are collaborative and paced to the client. He aims to help people build resilience, reduce distress, and practice new ways of relating. To start, readers can follow the site’s process to match and schedule a session.

Step 3

How his approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete tools to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and early bonding, which can be useful for intimacy problems, attachment issues, and recovery from relational trauma.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can evolve as work progresses, with techniques adapted to what helps most.

Specific online session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools like worksheets, skill practices, and guided exercises between sessions to support progress.
