The companion app · free with your first visit
Meet L.A.N.C.E. — therapy that keeps working between sessions.
Not a meditation app — a pocket clinic. 96 evidence-based tools, personalized to you, with your real progress measured and sent securely to your therapist. And now it tells a full five-act story — His Father's Name — built to make you laugh by challenge two, and hand you back your own name by challenge thirty-one.
Your companion. Your tools. Your home screen.
Name your guide and choose their personality, set your theme, then build your home screen from a library of 60+ tools. It becomes the app you actually open.
The same modalities used in the room.
CBT thought records, an AI cognitive reframer, DBT skills, EMDR, grounding, breathwork — structured, guided, and grounded in evidence. Not affirmations. Actual practice.
- Guided, step-by-step — never a blank box
- Unlock new tools as you build the habit
Small, steady, between every visit.
Daily mind–body check-ins, mood and sleep tracking, a quick-launch suite, and gentle streaks — so patterns surface and the work doesn’t stop when the session ends.
Your progress comes back to me.
L.A.N.C.E. turns your check-ins, tools, and trends into a clinical synthesis — then securely emails a weekly summary, full history, or a PDF report straight to your therapist. We see what’s working, together. Most solo practices can’t do this. We can.
- You choose what’s shared — nothing leaves without you sending it
- Outcomes you can actually see between sessions
Real work earns real rewards.
Every challenge completed earns Gems to spend in the Vault — cosmetic titles and badges on glowing pedestals. The rewards never gate the therapy; they just make coming back feel good. That’s the point: the tool you reopen is the tool that helps.
The outcomes loop.
Your work in the app doesn’t vanish into a journal. It becomes clinical information your therapist can actually use — every week.
Open the toolbox.
L.A.N.C.E. holds 60+ guided, evidence-based tools. Here are three you can do right now — the Intern walks you through each one. Nothing is saved.
Use a real L.A.N.C.E. tool — right now.
A guided CBT reframe in four taps — the same flow you get inside the app. About 60 seconds.
Grounded in CBT · DBT · EMDR · ACT · IFS · CFT · somatic & Gottman methods — 97 tools, built by a 25-year LPC.
Free with your first visit · optional one-time Pro unlock · now in beta
Your side of the island: the Clinical Companion.
L.A.N.C.E. pairs with a clinician cockpit built by the same 25-year LPC — an EHR that's pleasant at 8am and connected live to your client's phone.
Assign any of the 97 tools to a client's phone in one tap — and watch real completion receipts flow back. Said in session, done by Tuesday, visible Wednesday.
One-link telehealth with Therapy Scenes: open a grounding tool on both screens, breathe together in sync — and when a client finishes all 31 challenges, watch the story's ending together.
Live scribe during the call, a drafted note on hangup, signed in under a minute. Less software, more therapy.
The island grew a fleet.
Each world carries the same law — the tools will answer, progress is honest, and the story does the heavy lifting. All built in one practice, by one therapist and an AI, tested on real work.
Individual work: 96 tools, 31 challenges, a five-act story that hands you back your own name.
🚢 The Voyage — RehabitRecovery as a crossing: a working therapist's real curriculum, a crew of wayward robots, a mystery in five watches.
🪵 Driftwood — the family islandCouples & family systems as a survival life-sim: twenty campfire games, a buildable 3D island, a fire that burns the week's real warmth.
🩺 The Companion — the cockpitThe therapist's side of every world: assignments out, honest receipts back, notes that write themselves — plus a build-your-own practice assistant, in your voice.
Each world also stands in VR and mixed reality — the same tools, the same fire, in the room with you. Sandbox trials today; say hello at ask@lancenabers.com.
My Story
I didn't start with a platform. I started on an island in Alaska.
One week after completing my master's degree in 2001, I sold everything I owned, packed up my wife and three kids, and moved to a remote fishing village in Petersburg, Alaska. No blueprint. No safety net. Just a calling.
What followed was 25 years of showing up for people others couldn't reach — foster children in state care, Native American communities in New Mexico, families in the Texas desert, immigrants and refugees in Connecticut health centers, addiction survivors rebuilding their lives, couples on the edge, and 90-year-olds who just needed someone to talk to.
I grew from therapist to Clinical Director, to Statewide Director overseeing 16 offices, to Chief Behavioral Health Officer of a Federally Qualified Health Center, to University faculty, to national speaker and published researcher. Then I came back to what I love most — sitting with one person and helping them change their life.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, I joined Lionrock Recovery and ran addiction groups three days a week for people across the entire country — at the exact moment when isolation, grief, and substance use were colliding. That chapter wasn't just about sobriety. It was about helping people find joy again.
