About Lance

He focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, bipolar mood issues, and LGBT-related challenges. Lance aims to meet people where they are and offers steady, respectful support as they take steps forward.

He prefers straightforward, practical conversations. Sessions typically involve looking at current patterns and testing small changes to daily routines and thinking. He uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage intense emotions and reduce unhelpful thinking.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are part of his approach when people want to set clear goals and build momentum. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand long-standing patterns that keep showing up in relationships and self-image.

Lance works with concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, dissociation, substance issues, body image, chronic illness, and financial stress in addition to mood disorders. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s priorities guide the plan.

Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Lance practices in New Mexico and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to test what helps, which is useful for depression and anxiety. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce intense emotional swings and improve communication.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and build their own reasons to take steps toward it. Choosing an approach is a team effort - he will discuss options with each person and adjust methods to fit their goals, pace, and preferences.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking.
