Lance Johns, LMFT
About
Lance Johns is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working in Redlands, United States, in person and online. His main clinical approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and he has training in psychedelic preparation, sitting and integration.
How it works
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as Johns describes it, begins from the idea that suffering is partly caused by moving away from pain rather than towards it. The stated aim of the work is psychological flexibility: the capacity to adapt to what a situation calls for, and to act in line with one’s own values. He frames this as a way of navigating what surfaces during a psychedelic experience, with the therapist in a guiding rather than a directing role.
Background
He has been practising for more than seven years. Outside the consulting room he is a drummer, an avid reader and a follower of mixed martial arts.
