Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff

Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. He writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Lance prefers video meetings and invites clients who want straightforward, results-oriented work.

His style is conversational and direct. He likes to connect the dots in a person's story and clarify new, realistic ways to move forward. Sessions emphasize what is doable today and build small habits that add up over time.

With 16 years of counseling experience, he has worked with a wide range of mental health challenges and life problems. That background informs an eclectic approach that draws on several therapy methods rather than a single model.

He lists Mindfulness Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) among his approaches. He adapts techniques to fit each person's needs and checks in often to see what is helpful.

Lance completed graduate study in clinical fields and holds the LCPC credential. He has worked with U.S. and international clients and is based in Montana. He supports people dealing with parenting stress, career problems, mood disorders, ADHD, and multicultural concerns, among other issues.

To start, he asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. It often includes breathing and grounding practices that can lower stress and improve sleep and focus. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving individuals space to tell their story while the therapist reflects and supports their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change routines and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lance aims to learn about a person's goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. He checks in frequently to see what is or isn't helpful and adjusts the plan with the client rather than insisting on one path.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, eliminate travel time, and let people meet from different places, including outside the U.S. Since video is his preferred format, expect face-to-face conversation and shared exercises you can practice in real time. If you need different options, confirm current session formats before booking so you know what will be offered. Online work can be a practical way to build new habits, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity through life changes.
