About Lance
Lance Lashley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in New Mexico, with six years of professional experience. He focuses on common and persistent concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship strain, and LGBT-related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and his practice notes that international clients are not currently accepted.
Lance tends to work with practical problems people bring day to day. He talks through what's happening now and helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating. He uses straightforward methods to address mood problems, relationship friction, and distress tied to identity and life change.
His approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing intense emotions and reshaping unhelpful thoughts. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support steps toward change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. Psychodynamic ideas inform how past experiences can influence present reactions.
Lance aims to make sessions goal-oriented and concrete. Conversations often include skill practice, problem-solving, and checking progress from session to session. He adapts the focus depending on whether someone needs symptom relief, better communication, or clearer decision-making.
Costs vary by client location and services use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are invited to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for handling strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is helpful for emotion swings and relationship conflicts. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and move toward achievable next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the first few sessions. Lance will collaborate with clients to decide whether skill-based work, a goal-focused plan, or exploring longer-term patterns is the best fit. He checks in about goals and adjusts methods as therapy proceeds.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around work and family, shorter check-ins when needed, and fewer travel demands. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. The emphasis is on fitting therapy into everyday life so progress can happen between appointments.
