Lance Baker focuses on supporting men, first responders, couples and individuals navigating sexual addiction recovery, disclosure process, trauma-related concerns, relationship repair, and personal growth. He also offers faith-integrated support for clients who desire that approach.

Lance brings compassion, life experience, and a genuine heart for helping people into his counseling work. As a student counselor, he is committed to creating a supportive and respectful space where clients can better understand themselves, navigate difficult life experiences, and move toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.

Lance also brings 30 years of law enforcement experience, which has shaped his understanding of stress, trauma, crisis, responsibility, and the emotional weight carried by those who serve others. This background has contributed to his passion for working with first responders, as well as men who desire freedom from sexual bondage and unhealthy patterns that have affected their lives, relationships, and identity. His approach reflects empathy, honesty, personal responsibility, and respect for each client’s unique story.

Outside the counseling setting, Lance enjoys spending time with his wife, his three adult children, and his dog. He also enjoys the outdoors, especially hiking, fishing, and opportunities for adventure and renewal in nature.

Lance believes counseling is most effective when built on trust, authenticity, safety, and respect. He seeks to create a counseling environment where clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they pursue healing, growth, and meaningful change. His 30 years of law enforcement experience informs his awareness of stress, trauma, responsibility, and the emotional weight often carried by first responders and others who serve under pressure.

Lance values counseling as a space where honesty, strength, vulnerability, and healing can exist together. As a student counselor, Lance is developing an integrative approach that draws from person-centered counseling, cognitive behavioral concepts, trauma-informed care, and faith-sensitive support when appropriate to the client’s values and goals. He is passionate about helping clients reduce shame, increase self-awareness, take responsibility, and develop healthier patterns in their lives and relationships.
