He speaks plainly and aims to help people find practical steps they can use right away. Many seek him when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about the next chapter in life.

He frames therapy around today’s problems and realistic goals. Lance leans on Client-Centered methods to build a respectful working relationship and uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful patterns. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies and EMDR approaches when they fit the person’s needs.

With 16 years of counseling experience and a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Counseling Therapies, he has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting stress, career questions, mood disorders, and issues tied to aging or military service. He says therapy should be straightforward and focused on what helps now.

Lance prefers video sessions because he finds them more personal than text-only options. He notes he has worked with both U.S. and international clients and that his schedule recently opened after time abroad. He encourages people to take a small first step and see what feels useful.

He emphasizes collaboration in sessions, checking in regularly to make sure approaches fit the person. His style is candid and narrative-focused, aiming to connect the dots so clients can try doable changes between meetings.

How his methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful connection; online video lets him hold that kind of conversational, person-focused space. It helps when someone needs a therapist who listens without judgment and helps them clarify what matters now.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical ways to shift unhelpful patterns. In video sessions, CBT is often used to set clear goals, try short exercises, and agree on doable steps between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be practiced and reviewed during online sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adapts tools so sessions feel useful and timely.

For practical matters, confirm the available session formats before you book. He has indicated a preference for video sessions and has worked with both U.S. and international clients. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for face-to-face conversation without travel, and support steady progress through regular check-ins.
