More about Lance

- LMFT
I am a licensed marital and family therapist in the states of Oklahoma and Utah with over 20 years of experience working with youth, individuals, couples, and families. I have provided counseling to clients with various concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflict, parenting problems, autism spectrum disorder, anger management, and ADHD. I have also supported couples with premarital and marital counseling.
By nature I am a thoughtful and compassionate person. My hope is to create a space where you feel safe, valued, and respected in a way that will allow you to feel comfortable enough to talk about the challenges that have brought you to therapy. Depending on your goals, my counseling approach may combine cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, solution focused, experiential, narrative or family systems counseling.
I am here to help you reach your goals and am looking forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Thank you Lance! It was a relief to be able to talk to someone that knew the full truth and to be able to share my feelings about it freely.
I’ve been working with Lance for about 2 months now. He has helped me tremendously, he is kind, compassionate and always encouraging. I’m so thankful for his time and advice, he has helped me get through one of the most difficult times in my life.
Great listener! We have only had a couple of meetings so far but love talking with Lance and he is always helping me with Godly, biblical answers to my issues and questions.
