About Lance

Lance Nabers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of practice. He works from Texas and supports people living with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, grief, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.

Lance focuses on practical, emotion-focused work. He helps clients clarify hard-to-name feelings and notice patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations can cover relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strain, career stress, sleeping and eating concerns, and coping after trauma or loss.

He uses approaches that center on emotion and attachment. That includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive-behavioral skills. Sessions mix talking, noticing patterns in relationships, and small experiments to try between meetings.

Over two decades he has worked with people across many life stages. His background includes addressing abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, neurodiversity like autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency. He also supports people with bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Practical steps in his work include identifying what matters to the client, building clearer emotional awareness, and practicing new ways of relating. Clients are often asked to try brief exercises between sessions to test what changes feel helpful. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site.

How his emotion-focused and practical approaches work online

Lance combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to guide online work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and work with core emotions and relationship patterns that feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and actions people want to live by, and it offers tools for responding differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based work looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and helps people try new ways of relating. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. He works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client’s goals and preferences. Discussions in early sessions focus on what the client wants to change and which techniques seem most useful for those goals. Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and avoids travel time. If needed, exercises and between-session tasks are planned to fit daily life and test what actually helps.
