About Lana
Lana Kamer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She focuses on common household stresses that show up in daily life, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and family-related concerns. Lana frames work around practical steps adults can use at home and in relationships.
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods to help people manage overwhelming feelings and improve communication. Sessions typically include talk, reflective exercises, and skills practice aimed at reducing distress and increasing day-to-day coping. Lana pays attention to patterns people bring from their family of origin and current household roles.
Her background includes sustained clinical work with clients facing abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family pressures, divorce and separation, and domestic violence effects. She also addresses first responder stress, body image and eating-related issues, and aging or geriatric concerns that affect family interactions.
Therapeutic approaches she relies on include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to help people shift unhelpful thoughts, rehearse different behaviors, and retell personal stories that get in the way of coping.
Lana aims to help adults clarify goals, improve communication, and build routines that reduce daily strain. Practical tools and short-term strategies are balanced with deeper exploration when needed. People planning to start sessions are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Lana’s approaches translate to online work
Lana commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them name feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lana will help clients decide which methods to try based on their goals, concerns, and preferences. She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process and adjusts as progress is tracked.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins around work breaks or avoiding travel time to an office. They also allow people to practice skills in their everyday environment while still talking through challenges with a licensed professional.
