About Lance
Lance Nabers is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 20 years of experience to his work in Texas and other states. He combines practical care with steady support to help people facing stress, addiction, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Lance uses clear, direct conversation to help clients name problems and plan steps forward.
He focuses on everyday struggles like sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger, grief, and the strain of caregiver roles.
Background and approach
He also works with people dealing with trauma, intimacy‑related issues, and challenges tied to identity, including LGBT concerns. His practice addresses co-occurring issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and substance problems. Sessions are built around the person in front of him.
Lance uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to help people change unhelpful thinking and act in line with their values. He also draws on attachment-informed ideas and client-centered listening to create a steady, respectful space for exploration. Many clients appreciate a direct, practical style that still leaves room for compassion and curiosity.
He helps people break big problems into doable steps, practice new skills, and track progress over time. The aim is clearer choices and better day-to-day coping. Lance respects diverse backgrounds and life stories.
He offers therapy in English and works with clients across state lines, including international clients where licensure allows. Sessions may be scheduled in formats that fit a person’s routine and needs.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that align with their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and helping with motivation during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and helps people develop more supported ways of connecting with others.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues a person brings to decide which techniques to try first. Adjustments are made over time so the work fits practical needs and personal pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, ongoing support and can help people stay consistent between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and travel.
