About Lawrence

Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. He works with adults who are navigating grief, relationship strains, parenting pressures, career questions, and mood concerns. Lawrence writes in a direct, narrative style and aims to make therapy practical and doable for each person.

He brings 16 years of experience and a background in systems theory to his sessions. That experience includes work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns, from sleep problems and anger to issues tied to identity, purpose, and multicultural stressors. He emphasizes straightforward tools and clear next steps rather than long theoretical conversations.

Lawrence prefers video sessions and says live conversations feel more personal than text chat. He also notes he has worked with clients in the U.S. and abroad. When someone begins, he checks in regularly to see what is working and adjusts the plan as needed.

His approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavior tools, dialectical skills, mindfulness practices, and EMDR principles to tailor the work to an individual's needs. He focuses on connecting life events and current habits to practical changes that can ease day-to-day strain.

People who choose him can expect a collaborative process that aims for clarity and small, achievable goals. He encourages starting with what feels most urgent and building skills people can use right away.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions to relationship, self-esteem, and life transition struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for regulating emotions, managing strong feelings, and improving interpersonal communication.

Choosing which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative stance means the work changes as needs and priorities change over time.

Lawrence prefers video sessions and finds them more personal than chat. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow live face-to-face conversation when that matters, and let people practice new skills in real life between meetings.
