About Vicki
Vicki Lannerholm is a licensed counselor who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work in Michigan. She uses a clear, practical style to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, or relationship and intimacy concerns. Vicki speaks English and Swedish and accepts international clients.
Vicki centers sessions on the person in front of her. She listens first, then shares psychological knowledge in straightforward terms.
Background and approach
Conversations are aimed at building awareness, learning new patterns, and finding small, doable changes that shift daily functioning. Her background blends humanistic and developmental ideas with cognitive and mindfulness tools. That mix lets her address sleeping problems, ADHD-related struggles, low self-esteem, and mood concerns by working on thoughts, behaviors, and present emotions together.
Vicki also supports people facing trauma, post-traumatic stress, first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and veteran and armed forces issues. She draws on years in behavioral management, faith-based counseling, and teaching to adapt approaches to each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize practical strategies such as CBT-style exercises, emotion-focused work, and mindfulness practices.
Vicki frames counseling as a process of learning and growth rather than quick fixes, and she helps people set realistic steps for change. To begin, she asks people to identify the immediate problem and a workable goal. From there she helps plan steps that fit daily life, whether the issue is coping with loss, managing anxiety, or navigating a major life change.
Therapeutic approaches for online care and anxiety
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are and offering empathic listening. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through stress, grief, or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions and can be useful when intimacy or attachment issues are causing distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting course together rather than following a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to access care across distances.
