Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff helps people who feel stuck by focusing on practical steps they can use today. He works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. Lance is based in Montana and holds the MT LCPC credential, and he communicates in straightforward, direct language.
Lance uses a mix of talking and skill-building rather than long theory-heavy sessions. He often connects current problems to earlier patterns so people can see what to change.
Background and approach

With 16 years of counseling experience, he has supported people through a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, bipolar issues, parenting strain, career questions, and intimacy-related problems. He also works with themes like abandonment, guilt and shame, life purpose, and multicultural concerns.
His background includes systems theory and a variety of therapeutic tools. Lance favors video sessions but can use phone, live chat, or text-based messaging when it fits the person’s needs. He emphasizes collaboration and checks in often to make sure the approach is helpful.
He aims to make therapy clear, respectful, and practical. People who prefer a candid, narrative style and want strategies they can try between sessions may find his approach helpful. He invites prospective clients to consider small, steady changes rather than overnight fixes.

04Online support
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful working relationship so the person sets the pace and goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear tools to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then suggest a way forward. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust methods based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, travel, or busy days.
