About Lawrence

Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff is an LCPC with 16 years of counseling experience based in Montana. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, and related issues such as sleep problems, anger, and life changes.

Lance favors clear, practical conversations that connect what happened in the past with what is happening now. He says he focuses on results and uses tools that clients can try right away. He prefers video sessions and finds chat less helpful for his style.

He draws from client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas. He also uses EMDR and mindfulness approaches when appropriate. He describes his method as eclectic and adaptive, checking in to see what is working for each person.

Lance reports experience working with multicultural concerns, veterans and armed forces issues, men’s issues, midlife challenges, and aging-related matters among other focuses. He mentions addressing ADHD, bipolar, and mood disorders as part of his practice mix.

He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site matching flow to schedule an initial appointment and select a plan that fits their situation.

How sessions work

How his approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their goals and feel understood while deciding what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that fuel anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adjust which methods are used. Clients and the therapist check in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.

Lance prefers video sessions, which many people find easier to fit into a busy day and better for a face-to-face conversation without travel. If you need different options, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it simpler to schedule short check-ins, handle a midday appointment, or continue care when travel or relocation occurs.
