Lance Rao
,LMHC
I attended Fordham University in New York City for my undergraduate degree in philosophy. I received the Phi Sigma Tau award for graduating in the top 1% of the country . I then attended Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach for my graduate degree in mental health counseling, graduating Magna cum Laude.
As to work: for four years I worked directly under the auspices of the head psychiatrist of Sandy Pines, which is a locked psychiatric hospital for children up to the age of 18 in Tequesta Florida. I have also worked briefly at a place called Suncoast Mental Health where I was a therapist for adults as well.
Beyond The above, I have been in private practice since May of 2014.
My therapeutic approach is solution focused and proactive. Working as a team, we try to gain biographical insight and to confront obstacles, thereby changing and developing skills that lead to confident decision-making and lasting solutions. My work is characterized by empathy, optimism and collaboration. I am straight forward without being harsh, and encouraging without being judgmental.
I work with individuals confronted by various personal problems such as dating and relationship issues; infidelity; Break-ups and divorce; parenting; career matters; depression; anxiety and stress management and many more.
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.
I primarily use techniques adapted from psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioral therapy 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.

"Seems Ok so far, finding a little difficult to stay motivated to complete the worksheets. The information is helpful, but general. For mild or moderate issues, this is a good starting point, but people with more severe problems may need more support than this program can offer."

"So far so good, it has been nice to get things off my chest. I'm only a few sessions in so I can't speak to the results as it is too soon but it's been a positive thing to look forward to every week."

"I’ve had a great experience with online-therapy.com and with my therapist, Lance. I’ve had great progress in a short time."

"I have worked with a few therapist and have always found them unstructured conversations that have left me more frustrated. I prefer structure and evidence-based approaches and in my first session with Lance, I felt my brain physically shift into a balanced way of operating. Lance has a way of mobilising the English language that motivates me to be intentional with embedding the everyday small changes in my life for long-term success."
