About Lawrence

Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 16 years of experience. He speaks English and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship or intimacy concerns, grief, and life changes. Lance aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on practical steps that help now.

Lance favors a direct, narrative style that helps people connect the dots in their lives. He adapts methods to what actually helps each person instead of following a single rigid plan.

Background and approach

Sessions often center on identifying doable changes and building skills that fit everyday life. His background includes broad exposure to systems theory and clinical dynamics. That experience informs how he looks at relationship patterns, family concerns, communication problems, and life transitions.

He also works with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and issues around career, parenting, and aging. Lance lists several approaches he uses, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and EMDR. He prefers video sessions but also offers phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs.

People who choose him can expect a collaborative process. He checks in about what is working and adjusts plans accordingly. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up the first session.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them set goals and choose the pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy is practical and skill-based, teaching ways to notice thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is an approach used to help people reprocess difficult memories and reduce their emotional hold, often paired with grounding and stabilization techniques.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods over time. That means trying things, checking in, and shifting plans so sessions stay useful and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and are often used for full sessions. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to keep regular work on skills between sessions.
