About Lance
Lance Nabers is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, addiction, and life changes. He holds the LMHC credential and the LPC credential and practices from Texas while working with clients across state lines. He focuses on real problems and practical steps rather than jargon.
He keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. He listens to a person’s story and helps them spot patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
Conversations cover relationships, grief, intimacy, sleep and eating struggles, career pressures, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. Lance uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of him.
That can mean rewriting parts of someone’s life story using Narrative ideas, building new habits with cognitive behavioral strategies, or helping people commit to values-based action through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Attachment work and client-centered listening are also part of his toolkit. He has worked with concerns tied to parenting, LGBT issues, caregiving stress, ADHD, and trauma and abuse.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. He describes treatment as a partnership where the client’s goals guide the plan. When someone first reaches out, expect plain talk and clear options.
Sessions may include short skills practice, reflections on personal narratives, and steps you can try between meetings. The aim is to build coping skills and a clearer sense of direction one step at a time.

Online session options
How narrative and skills-based work translate online
Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. Online sessions make it possible to notice and reframe those stories through conversation, written reflections, and brief between-session tasks to test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to clarify their values and take action even when feelings are uncomfortable. In an online session this can mean short exercises, values lists, and practical steps to try between meetings to build momentum. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotions. A therapist online can help identify those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and plan experiments to shift how someone responds in close relationships. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust based on what is most helpful. Together they choose which tools to use and when to change course. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins, quick skills practice, or people who prefer written communication.Common questions about this listing
