Background and approach
He focuses on what helps now and tailors exercises to each person's needs. Sessions often look like candid conversations that connect patterns and offer small steps to try between meetings. He brings broad experience with mood disorders, ADHD, grief, career concerns, parenting stress, and intimacy-related issues.
He also mentions work with multicultural concerns, veteran issues, and challenges around aging and life purpose. His background includes systems theory and a focus on realistic strategies anyone can use. Lance aims to keep therapy focused on results that fit everyday life.
He checks in regularly to see what is working and adjusts the plan when needed. That means short-term skills or longer talks depending on what feels most useful. People who choose him can expect a direct, narrative style that ties life events together and clarifies new ways of seeing problems.
He encourages starting with a simple step and building on what proves helpful.
How approaches and online sessions come together
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation that helps people feel heard and understood. It supports work on relationships, self-esteem, and life-direction by letting the client lead the pace and topics.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It can be helpful for anger, relationship problems, and emotional regulation challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That way the plan is collaborative and changes if something is not helpful.
Online therapy offers several practical formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not needed, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support. Video is useful for in-depth sessions, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low, chat is handy for brief updates, and messaging fits people who want to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue progress from different locations.
