About Lance

Lance Nabers is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with two decades of clinical experience.

Background and approach

He practices from Texas and has worked with people facing a wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, mood disorders, and ADHD. His background includes work across multiple states, which informs a flexible perspective on diverse life contexts and transitions.

His style blends practical skills with compassionate listening, drawing on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered care, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Lance emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify goals, build coping strategies, and work through patterns that interfere with well-being.

He aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore identity, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, and career or life-direction concerns. Clients can expect a therapist who balances structure and empathy, offering both skill-building and reflective exploration.

Lance’s practice supports people through immediate problems and longer-term personal growth, tailoring interventions to the client’s needs while respecting their unique story and strengths.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care that fit your life

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy useful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility, which can help when coping with painful emotions or navigating major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relational patterns and emotional bonds, helping people understand how past connections influence present relationships and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods from different models to create a tailored plan. This shared decision making helps ensure the work remains relevant and achievable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for busy schedules or geographical distance. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access skilled, licensed professionals from Texas or other locations.
