Meet Lance Garland, MA

Licensed Professional Counselor and Hypnotherapist

Have you gained insight through traditional therapy but still feel caught in the same emotional or physical patterns?

Biography: Lance Garland is a licensed professional counselor and hypnotherapist with more than 17 years of clinical experience. He works with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, depression, PTSD, emotional dysregulation, and stress-related concerns.

Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms, Lance helps you explore the underlying patterns influencing how you think, feel, and respond. His approach brings together professional counseling, neuroscience, trauma-informed therapy, clinical hypnosis, and nervous-system regulation.

Why Might You Choose Lance Garland in Charleston?

If you want more than a stand-alone hypnosis session, Lance Garland offers clinical hypnosis within a licensed counseling practice that also incorporates trauma-informed therapy, neuroscience, and nervous-system regulation.

Lance is a licensed professional counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling and more than 17 years of clinical experience. His background may benefit you if smoking is connected to anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, or another concern that would be better addressed within a broader therapeutic relationship.

How You May Benefit

Your individualized work may help you:

• Identify situations and emotions that trigger smoking
• Understand the deeper patterns reinforcing the habit
• Develop healthier ways to regulate stress
• Prepare for circumstances in which cravings may occur
• Strengthen motivation and confidence
• Address anxiety or unresolved trauma when clinically appropriate
• Practice mind-body tools between appointments
• Carry new responses into your daily life

Smoking-Cessation Support

Lance may be a good fit if you are thoughtful, motivated, and ready for focused work that goes beyond surface-level coping strategies. His calm, collaborative approach is particularly suited to people who have tried traditional therapy but feel that something deeper still needs attention.

His work may incorporate:

• Clinical hypnosis
• EMDR-informed trauma therapy
• HeartMath biofeedback
• Emotional Freedom Techniques
• Meditation and nervous-system regulation
• Mind-body and somatic practices
• Practical tools for everyday life

Lance is also a certified yoga instructor. His undergraduate education in exercise science and early professional experience in cardiac rehabilitation contribute to his understanding of the relationship between emotional stress, nervous-system functioning, and physical well-being.

A Whole-Person Approach

Lance believes meaningful change occurs when insight is combined with embodied awareness and practical application. Sessions are paced according to your needs, capacity, and goals, with an emphasis on helping you develop greater emotional steadiness, clarity, resilience, and confidence in daily life.

He earned his Master’s degree in Counseling from Webster University and his undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from the University of Missouri.
