Vicki Lannerholm, LPCC, LPC

Vicki Lannerholm is a licensed counselor who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work. She combines practical psychological ideas with straightforward conversation to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Vicki aims to clarify what is getting in the way and to help clients find steps that make daily life more manageable.

She uses a client-centered stance, listening first and tailoring guidance to each person. She often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with emotionally focused and mindfulness approaches to address stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. Vicki also supports people dealing with career shifts, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting concerns, sleep problems, and ADHD-related struggles.

Vicki has additional experience with aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and matters affecting veterans and first responders. Her background spans clinical, nonprofit, corporate, and public policy settings, and she draws on that variety when helping people navigate big life changes or practical problems.

She describes counseling as a collaborative learning process rather than a quick fix. Sessions focus on building awareness, learning new patterns, and applying clear tools to change how the brain and body respond to stress. Progress looks different for everyone, and Vicki works at a pace that fits each person’s needs.

Vicki offers services in Michigan and speaks English and Swedish. To begin, a straightforward matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people with a suitable time to start work together.

Using client-centered and cognitive tools in online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgment. It helps people clarify their goals and feel heard while deciding what changes feel right for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and day-to-day stress through short exercises and practice between sessions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT or adding mindfulness and emotionally focused tools as useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between errands. It can also make check-ins shorter when needed or allow people to use audio-only options if video is difficult.

The focus is on practical ways to apply skills in daily life so therapy can support real-world changes.
