Vicki Lannerholm

Vicki Lannerholm is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She works in Michigan and speaks English and Swedish. Vicki aims to be a calm, practical guide when life feels hard, whether the struggle is stress, grief, or major life change.

Her approach is straightforward and people-focused. She listens first, then helps clients apply simple psychological ideas to everyday problems. Sessions emphasize learning, skill-building, and small changes that alter patterns of thinking and behavior.

Vicki draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas to address worries like anxiety, sleep problems, and depression. She also uses emotionally focused and mindfulness work to support relationship and intimacy concerns and to help process trauma and grief. Her background includes work with aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, veteran and first responder issues, and post-traumatic stress.

She describes counseling as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on their life. Vicki offers practical strategies and psychoeducation grounded in humanistic and developmental perspectives. Progress can be quick for some people and gradual for others, and she helps clients set realistic goals for their pace of change.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Payment follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients may be accommodated.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions; this can help with grief, life transitions, and stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and simple homework to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and depression.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express core emotions and needs in relationships. It can be helpful when intimacy, commitment, or communication problems cause ongoing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best, based on their goals, history, and what feels helpful in early sessions. This is a collaborative decision and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between meetings. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that short, regular check-ins or weekly sessions help maintain progress while balancing work and family demands.
