Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff, LCPC

Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who focuses on clear, practical help for everyday struggles. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. He aims to make therapy straightforward and useful from the first sessions.

Lance emphasizes short-term, results-oriented work that targets what is happening today. He favors video sessions and checks in often to make sure strategies fit the person in front of him. His style blends direct conversation with an effort to connect life patterns to present problems.

With 16 years of experience, Lance has worked with a wide range of mental health issues. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help people change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. He also uses mindfulness techniques and has experience with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing methods.

He aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs rather than relying on one fixed method. That might mean practicing new coping skills, reframing unhelpful thinking, or learning emotional regulation tools. He describes his work as practical, timely, and focused on what will help now.

Located in Montana, Lance has experience working with both U.S. and international clients. He welcomes conversations about goals and preferences, and he helps people figure out steps they can take between sessions to keep progress moving.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Lawrence commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday stressors. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and adapting to each person's needs, creating space for clients to set the pace and goals of therapy.

He also incorporates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful, teaching emotional regulation and distress tolerance techniques for intense feelings or relationship difficulties. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what is most useful and comfortable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching-style contact between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping focus on therapy goals.
