About Lawrence
Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Montana who focuses on practical support for common parenting concerns. He speaks plainly and aims to help parents reduce stress, manage anger, and find steadier routines when life feels overwhelming. Lance emphasizes respect and a collaborative way of working so parents feel heard and understood.
Lance brings 16 years of counseling experience and uses a mix of well-known approaches to shape sessions.
Background and approach
He leans on client-centered methods to follow the parent's priorities, and he draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to teach skills for everyday challenges. He prefers video sessions but offers a range of online formats. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and tools they can try between meetings.
Lance checks in often to see what is working and adjusts plans to make progress simple and practical. He aims to keep work focused on manageable steps rather than abstract theory. Before returning to Montana he worked with both U.S. and international clients, which informs his attention to multicultural concerns and different life contexts.
His background includes training in systems theory and experience across a wide range of mood and stress concerns. Lance holds a Master of Science in Marriage, Family and Child Therapy and the LCPC credential. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
He uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time.

Approach and online therapy together
Client-centered work follows your lead and focuses sessions on the concerns you name, such as parenting stress or relationship tension. This approach aims to make sessions feel relevant and respectful by checking in frequently about what is helpful.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger.
Mindfulness therapy brings simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. These skills can be useful for coping with stress, improving focus, and calming strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is actually helping.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can work for quick check-ins or short coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
