About Lance
Lance Martin is a Washington LMHC with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and LGBT issues. He works with adults who are seeking clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better ways to handle difficult situations.
He uses practical, evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on learning skills, noticing patterns, and trying small behavioral changes that make daily life more manageable. He also draws on acceptance and mindfulness practices to help people respond differently to thoughts and feelings.
Martin describes his work as conversational and focused on the client’s goals. He prioritizes direct problem solving alongside exploration of values and meaning. Clients can expect a mix of skill practice, reflective discussion, and real-world experiments between sessions.
He also works with a range of specific concerns including self-esteem, social anxiety, young adult issues, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. Additional focus areas listed include autism and Asperger syndrome, first responder issues, end-of-life and hospice counseling, questions around polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and aspects of kink and alternative sex culture.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How his therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Online sessions can introduce practical exercises that clients try between meetings to test what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching concrete skills for noticing thoughts and changing routines. CBT work online commonly uses worksheets, behavioral experiments, and guided practice that fit into daily life. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness so people can respond more deliberately to stress and mood shifts; short mindfulness exercises can be assigned as brief between-session practices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to pick and adapt methods based on the individual’s goals, preferences, and what helps in early sessions. That collaborative stance means approaches can shift as needs become clearer.
The therapist’s biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions useful because they can fit appointments into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it possible to try skill practice in the context of everyday life and bring observations back into sessions for discussion.
