About Lawrence

Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff is an LCPC who aims to help people struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. He speaks plainly and focuses on what can be done now to feel steadier. Lance prefers video sessions and works with people in English, including international clients.

He uses a mix of counseling methods to match each person’s needs. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building small skills that make daily life easier. He emphasizes checking in to see what is working and adjusting the plan accordingly.

With 16 years of experience, Lance has supported people through grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, career changes, mood concerns, and issues around identity and purpose. He describes his style as candid and narrative, helping clients connect life events to present struggles without getting lost in jargon.

Clients can expect straightforward, goal-focused conversations and tools to manage strong emotions and improve sleep, focus, and relationships. He mentions interest in work with veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, and men's issues as part of his broader focus areas.

He earned a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Counseling Therapy and holds the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential. He says his training included systems theory and practical techniques, and that he adapts methods to suit the person in front of him.

How his approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person’s story and following their lead. It helps people feel understood and guides decisions about goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with small practical changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose or blend methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and what feels useful. He checks in regularly and adapts tools when something is not helping.

He prefers video sessions, which allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual tools during sessions. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow follow-up check-ins from different locations. Licensed professionals can use the same practical exercises and skills online as in person, while tailoring pace and technique to what works best for each person.

  • Check that the location and license details above fit where you live.
  • If anyone is at risk of being harmed, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline first. See the support lines for the US, UK and Australia.
