About Lance

Lance Nabers is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. He practices from Texas and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, trauma and parenting challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.

Over two decades he has supported people through grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. He also works with those dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiving strain. Lance brings attention to attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and blended family dynamics.

His approach blends several methods to match what a person needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and take manageable steps. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and behavior change. Attachment-based and client-centered work shape how he looks at relationships and connection.

In a session he listens for practical patterns that get in the way at home. He helps people name problems, try small experiments, and build skills to handle stress and conflict. Conversations are direct and focused on what someone can do between sessions.

People often come for help with parenting strain, relationship friction, recovery from trauma, or managing anxiety and depression. To start, he asks about current difficulties, what has been tried, and what a reasonable next step might be.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online care

The practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centered principles. ACT helps people clarify values and take small committed actions rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate difficult feelings. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice and change those patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then recommend a mix of methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. Many people find that practicing skills between sessions in their everyday environment helps transfer learning from conversation into daily routines.
