Lance Rao, LMFT, LMHC — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Lance!

I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy.

My focus

I work with individuals confronted by various personal problems such as dating and relationship issues; infidelity; break-ups or divorce; parenting; career matters; sexual concerns; mid-life crises; addictions; family problems; depression; anxiety, stress management, and many more.

My approach

I primarily use techniques adapted from psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioral theory, and interpersonal neurobiology. These disciplines combined together create a powerful lens through which we can understand our inner lives with more clarity and improve our relationships with others.

My communication style

My clients depart from our counseling sessions feeling stronger, empowered, and self-aware. This ultimately enhances their ability to connect on a more intimate level in all interpersonal relationships.

My journey to mental healthcare

I received my BA in philosophy and was accepted into the National Honor Society Phi Sigma Tau. I decided to become a therapist because I wanted to truly help people and find a way to stand up to non-tangible concepts such as anxiety and depression.

My goals for you

My approach is solution-focused and proactive. Working as a team, we try to gain biographical insight and confront obstacles, thereby changing and developing skills that lead to confident decision-making and lasting solutions.
