About Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff

Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff greets each newcomer as someone who has already taken an important step toward change and restoration. With 16 years of clinical experience and a recent return from overseas, he maintains a flexible schedule and welcomes both U.S. and international clients. He holds MSC-MFCT and is an LCPC - a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and has completed EMDR Level I training.

Lawrence approaches therapy with candor and a narrative style, aiming to connect the dots in a client’s story and to clarify perspectives that feel healing, practical, and timely. He emphasizes making the process straightforward and focused on the present, using realistic, doable strategies rather than overwhelming theory. He believes desire and belief play central roles in growth, and he adapts his methods to suit each person rather than applying one fixed model.

His background includes extensive exposure to systems theory and dynamics, and he uses an eclectic toolkit that blends evidence-informed techniques with a pragmatic focus on results. He prefers working by video because he finds it more personal, though he can accommodate other formats. Lawrence presents therapy as collaborative - checking in regularly to ensure interventions are working and tailoring the approach to what helps each client most.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Lawrence draws from client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client's goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathic listening and supports people coping with relationship concerns, identity questions, grief, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most to them.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, sleep issues, and problems with motivation or routine.

In addition, his EMDR Level I training means he has foundational exposure to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques aimed at addressing distressing memories and trauma-related reactions in a structured way. He blends these methods with mindfulness and emotion-regulation strategies when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lawrence collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He regularly checks in and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexibility - clients can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity while traveling, or access care from different locations. Lawrence favors video for a more personal connection, but he tailors the format to what works best for each client.
