About
As someone with lived experience relating to trauma, I understand the need to be validated, understood and experience compassion from others.
Deidra Fuller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas who has over 15 years of experience partnering with adults in their journey toward freeing themselves from addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, difficult life transitions, and relationship challenges.
She earned her Bachelor's degree in Interpretation-ASL/English from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and received her Master's degree in Special Education-Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Texas—Austin. She is a fluent user of American Sign Language and had a successful 30+ year career as a Nationally Licensed Sign Language Interpreter (NLSI).
Deidra believes that all clients have the answers they seek within themselves and only need a “tour guide” to find the path to those answers. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT) and motivational interviewing while focusing on strengths, mindfulness, spirituality, the development of coping skills, and solutions-focused approaches.
Deidra seeks to be your “tour guide” to self-discovery, reducing your depression/anxiety, learning coping skills to stop addictive patterns and behaviors, understanding your trauma and how it has impacted your life, and how to not let the past control your life.

As a woman with adult children and grandchildren, I have a deep understanding of what it means to be an empty nester, the pain of estrangement, navigating what it means to be a generation x adult and deal with the everyday ups and downs of life in today's world.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician, Addictions Counselor, and LCDC with over 18 years of experience in human services and counseling. As a proud Texan, I specialize in working with first responders and individuals struggling with substance use. Trained in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), I understand the reality of high-stress roles, repeated trauma exposure, and the expectations that come with them. My approach is straightforward, practical, and grounded in real life. I help clients sort through what they’ve seen, what they’ve carried, and how it’s showing up—whether that’s anger, stress, burnout, or substance use.
I work with teens and adults of all ages facing life's challenges and transitions, addiction and recovery, alcoholism, trauma, domestic violence, & grief. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University, utilizing evidence-based approaches, CBT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, person-centered, and solution-focused therapy.
Current events, stress, and politics can get heavy, especially when you’re the one everyone else counts on. I provide a space to be honest about your personal struggles and the world around you. You don’t have to carry it alone. I am here to help you make sense of it, get steady, and move forward with clarity and strength. I'm ready to listen.

In 2001, one week after finishing my master's degree, I sold everything I owned and moved my wife and three kids to a remote island in Alaska to start my career. I've been all-in ever since.
I'm Lance Nabers, M.S., LPC-S, LMHC, and I've spent 25 years helping over 24,000 people find their way back to themselves—from remote fishing villages in Alaska to federally qualified health centers, foster care systems, wilderness therapy programs, and crisis co-response work across eight states. A former Chief Behavioral Health Officer and Statewide Clinical Director, I'm now a telehealth therapist and LPC-S clinical supervisor licensed in TX, CO, WA, HI, and ID. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, addiction, life transitions, and couples therapy. Real experience. Real results. On your terms.
My therapeutic approach is comprehensive and compassionate, addressing a wide range of emotional and psychological experiences. I specialize in helping individuals navigate issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, sobriety, and personal growth. My work often focuses on 'life transitions or conflict,' and 'finding opportunity or acceptance.
The first session is a conversation focused on what brings you to therapy, your current concerns and relevant history, how therapy works, and what feels most important to you. I hope to create a calm, grounded environment where you feel heard, respected, and not rushed. By the end, we'll outline goals and next steps so you leave with clarity and direction.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is helping them understand how the effectiveness of changing thought process can result in improved feelings and behaviors.
I teach the following tools in CBT:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in CBT when they report successful interactions using CBT methods and techniques
Clients can supplement their time in CBT therapy by making a commitment to the work discussed in therapy, practicing the new skills, and possibly attending peer support groups if support groups are recommended.
To prepare for their first CBT therapy session, someone can be open and honest about their experiences. If sessions are to be on Zoom, check internet speed, and have a place that is safe and private — do not be driving.
At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.
Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Midland, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.
