About Lance

Lance Nabers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. He practices in Texas and has worked with clients across several states. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, trauma, anger, and other life concerns.

He focuses on straightforward talk and practical skills. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and works with people to try different ways of responding. Sessions include conversational exploration along with specific tools from cognitive and behavioral approaches.

Lance uses a mix of methods to match the situation. That can mean addressing thoughts that feed anxiety, practicing skills to notice and tolerate strong emotions, or looking at attachment patterns that affect relationships. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and client-centered methods.

He has supported people through grief, career strain, parenting stress, identity questions, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. He also addresses issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. His work is aimed at helping people find clearer choices and steadier responses in daily life.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anger, anxiety, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and encouraging committed steps forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. It teaches concrete techniques to reframe unhelpful thinking and to practice new responses, useful for stress, anxiety, and anger management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are often helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts lead to repeated problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to identify useful skills and ways of responding rather than promising a single fixed solution.

Confirm the exact session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use video or audio in ways that match a client's needs, and working remotely can help maintain continuity across moves or different time zones.
