About Lance

Lance Nabers is a licensed clinician with two decades of experience helping people work through a broad range of life challenges.

Background and approach

Holding both LMHC and LPC credentials, he has cared for clients across multiple states and now practices from Texas, bringing a calming, informed presence to issues like stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship struggles. His background includes focused attention on grief, intimacy-related concerns, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and career or self-esteem difficulties.

His style blends compassion with practical strategies, drawing on approaches such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix allows him to tailor interventions to each person’s needs, whether the goal is symptom relief, improved communication, or deeper self-understanding.

He emphasizes collaboration and honors each client’s strengths while supporting meaningful change across life stages and transitions.

Adapting therapeutic approaches to online care



Internal Family Systems invites clients to explore inner parts with curiosity and compassion, helping people understand conflicting emotions or self-protective patterns and how those parts influence relationships and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and building committed actions, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what resonates in initial sessions, then adapts methods from IFS, ACT, or attachment-informed work to match the client’s needs and pace.

Online formats make that collaborative work accessible through flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These choices help clients fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and use different communication styles to support progress with evidence-informed approaches.
