About Lana
Lana Kamer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and the strains that come from family relationships.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps. She listens to what matters most and helps people find ways to change thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. Lana uses approaches that encourage people to tell their stories and to test small changes between sessions.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing major life shifts like workplace stress, separation and adoption or foster care questions. She has supported those coping with first responder stress and with family of origin problems. Lana draws on approaches that help with both immediate coping and deeper, longer-term shifts.
Typical work includes improving communication, reducing intense shame or guilt, and building better day-to-day routines. She uses straightforward tools to spot unhelpful thinking and to try new ways of responding in relationships. Sessions often move between talking about past experiences and practicing specific skills for the present.
People who choose Lana can expect a steady focus on practical change alongside attention to personal meaning. She invites clients to notice what works, adjust goals as needed, and set realistic next steps between appointments.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places focus on the client's experience and perspective. It involves listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the person, which can help with shame, grief and family-related stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical skills for noticing unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors, which is useful for anxiety and depression.
Motivational Interviewing supports change by clarifying what the client wants and exploring ambivalence. It is often used when someone feels stuck or conflicted about making a change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lana will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns arise.

Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce commute time so therapy fits around work and family commitments. Therapists will also suggest ways to practice skills between sessions so progress continues outside appointment times.
