About Vicki
Vicki Lannerholm is an LPCC and an LPC with 15 years of counseling experience based in Michigan. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD, depression, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.
Vicki uses a practical, down-to-earth style. She listens and shares psychological information people can apply to daily life. She describes counseling as a way to recalibrate when thoughts, feelings, and patterns stop steering life where someone wants to go. She does not treat a diagnosis; she focuses on the person and on skills and understanding that change behavior over time.
Her work draws on Client-Centered ideas and mindfulness practices alongside Cognitive Behavioral tools and Emotionally-Focused approaches. She also brings existential thinking to help people think about meaning, choices, and values. Sessions include psychoeducation and straightforward strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve coping.
Vicki has a background that began in behavioral management and faith-based counseling, followed by a master’s degree and professional licensure. She also completed ABD toward a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and has taught as a college adjunct professor. That mix of clinical, academic, and policy work shapes how she explains psychological ideas.
People who come to Vicki often want clear, applicable steps and explanations for how change happens. She asks questions, offers evidence-informed tools, and works with people to practice new ways of thinking and acting until those become more automatic.
Sessions are conducted in English and Swedish as noted, and she accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Vicki brings therapy online with evidence-based approaches
Vicki often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and helping people shape goals from their own values and experience. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotionally-Focused ideas help people notice and work with strong emotions so those feelings become clearer and less overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation helps decide which methods to emphasize and how to pace sessions so they fit the person’s needs.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or allow for a quieter space with less travel. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can use these approaches effectively over distance while focusing on practical skills, emotion work, and meaning-making that carry into everyday routines.
