About Vicki

Vicki Lannerholm is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She practices from Michigan and speaks English and Swedish. Her work covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and life transitions.

Vicki frames counseling as a practical process. She listens first, then offers psychological information and simple tools people can use day to day. Sessions focus on observable patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior and on small steps that change those patterns over time.

Her background includes work as a behavioral management specialist, faith-based counselor, and roles across corporate, clinical, nonprofit, managed care, and government mental health settings. She has also taught as a college adjunct professor. Those experiences shape a straightforward, information-driven style.

Vicki draws on humanistic and developmental ideas alongside neuropsychological science. She uses psychoeducation and solution-focused techniques to help people recognize recurring patterns and try different responses. She also incorporates psychodynamic insights when useful to understand history and meaning.

The approach accepts that change happens through learning and growth as well as through life events. Some people notice improvement after a few sessions; others take longer. Her aim is to help people apply practical psychological principles so daily life becomes more manageable.

How sessions work

How Vicki’s approaches translate to online work

Vicki commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas. Client-centered work starts by listening and reflecting what matters most to the person, helping them name priorities and choose next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and shifting emotional responses that keep people stuck in relationship or intimacy-related problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Vicki will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or as new challenges arise.

The original biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce commute time. These practical benefits help people continue work between appointments and apply new skills to everyday situations.
