Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff, LCPC

Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions. He works with concerns like depression, sleep disruption, anger, career questions, ADHD, and mood disorders. Lance aims to give clear, practical steps so people can feel more steady day to day.

He uses straightforward conversation to connect what has happened with what might help next. Sessions focus on doable strategies and on what the person wants to change now. He favors video sessions and prefers a face-to-face feel rather than chat-based work.

Lance brings 16 years of counseling experience and a background that includes systems theory and family-centered ideas. He describes his style as narrative and candid, helping clients reframe difficult moments into useful perspectives. He emphasizes adapting techniques to what each person actually needs rather than following a fixed checklist.

Clinically, he draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior approaches, EMDR methods, and mindfulness practices. He aims to tailor those tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. His approach is practical and results-oriented, focused on what can be done between sessions.

He has worked with both U.S. and international clients and is based in Montana. Lance notes that belief in change and small consistent steps are key parts of progress. To begin, he asks people to choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting concerns back so goals become clearer; this helps with relationship issues, low self-esteem, and life purpose questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to reduce anxiety, depressive thinking, and sleep disruption.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving how someone copes with stress and relationships. It provides concrete tools for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match the person’s situation. That collaborative process helps shape whether CBT tools, DBT skills, client-centered conversation, or a mix is most useful.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily into a weekday schedule and keeping appointments when travel is difficult. Video sessions are preferred by this therapist, offering face-to-face interaction and the chance for more natural conversation. Confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format fits your needs and daily routine.
