About Dr. Lane
Dr. Lane has practiced as a licensed psychologist in the State of Texas since 1992. He received his Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Oklahoma State University (Stillwater) in 1990 following his predoctoral internship at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
He is now retired as of the first of June, 2024, from his private practice based in Roanoke, Texas. He will continue to offer consultative and educational services.
Dr. Lane, while a generalist, also specialized in personal adjustment, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, recovery from addictions and eating disorders, couples counseling, phase of life changes, career counseling, coping skills, stress reduction and mindfulness. He also worked using systems/organizational dynamics, family dynamics, decision theory, positive psychology, and enjoys educating others on various psychological topics.
His first doctoral level position was at the University of North Texas, pursuing a rare but desirable split appointment between the Psychology Department faculty and the University Counseling Center clinical and supervisory roles. This combination of academic and clinical duties gave him the opportunity to enhance his competence as a therapist from his extensive education and abundant experience across a broad range of therapeutic approaches. His practice is informed by many years of clinical practice, supervising clinicians and trainees, and teaching psychology doctoral students the very skills and the latest knowledge needed to become effective, ethical therapists and diagnosticians.
Dr. Lane has often worked closely with psychiatrists, physicians, and diverse team of health providers in providing integrated/coordinated care for each client. He has experience in not only college counseling centers and as a university faculty member, but he also has experience providing therapy, education and supervision for other clinicians in community mental health clinics and alcohol and drug treatment centers.
Dr. Lane has been active professionally throughout his career, contributing to the field at local, state and national levels. He is a member in the American Psychological Association, NASPA, and other professional organizations. He has spent years contributing as president and board member to the national organization of ACCCCS (Clinical Directors association), and as board member to CCMH (a research consortium focused on improving collegiate mental health) and NASPA, among other organizations and groups.
In his free time, now called “retirement”, Dr. Lane loves spending time with his wife, family and friends. He is also an avid college and professional sports fan. He enjoys golf, hiking, other active outdoor sports, cultural and community events, and taking care of his small ranch.
