About Lance

Lance Nabers is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of clinical experience. He holds LMHC and LPC credentials and provides therapy from his base in Texas. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and other life challenges in clear, direct ways.

He focuses on practical strategies that people can use right away. Sessions often cover communication skills, coping tools for anxiety, managing mood shifts, and addressing grief or loss.

Background and approach

He also supports exploration of identity, self-worth, and life direction. Lance combines evidence-based methods with a warm, respectful manner. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches to match tools to each person's needs.

Conversations are collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. His background includes twenty years of helping adults through life transitions, addiction recovery, and emotional healing. He has worked across multiple U.S. states and brings that range of experience to remote work from Texas.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. In the first meetings he helps people clarify goals and tries simple skills to see what fits. Over time the work moves toward practical changes in daily habits, clearer boundaries, and steadier mood management.

The emphasis is on usable steps, not jargon.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and routine. It often helps with stress, sleeping problems, and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to build safer ways of relating and managing emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what produces real, manageable progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. This allows sessions around work or caregiving schedules and supports ongoing check-ins between meetings. Remote formats make it easier to practice new skills in day-to-day life and to get support without long travel, while still working with licensed professionals who tailor the approach to the client's needs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
