About Vicki
Vicki Lannerholm uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. She brings 15 years of counseling experience and practical focus to each session. Vicki aims to listen carefully and help people find small, useful steps they can try between meetings.
She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with emotion-focused work and mindfulness to make thoughts, feelings, and habits clearer. Sessions often include simple skills, perspective shifts, and coaching-style planning to address sleeping, career stress, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
Vicki also addresses trauma, post-traumatic stress, and issues common to veterans and first responders. Her background spans behavioral management, faith-based counseling, managed care, and higher education. She holds an LPCC credential and an LPC credential and has practiced across the Midwest and Southwest before working in Michigan.
That mix of clinical and real-world settings informs a practical style rooted in psychological science. Vicki treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on helping them learn and change at a pace that fits. She uses psychoeducation and narrative elements when helpful, and keeps plans straightforward so they can be used in daily life.
Progress can look different for everyone, and she helps people track what actually changes. People who choose her generally get a calm, direct listener who offers concrete tools and coaching. The aim is steady forward movement - reducing worry, improving sleep, clarifying values, and restoring more balance to everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Vicki draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience and goals, offering a listening stance that helps people voice what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to practice small, concrete changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and lift mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people in naming and working through strong emotions, which can help with intimacy concerns, grief, and trauma-related responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which tools to try first, and adjusts methods as progress and needs become clearer. Clients and therapist set goals together and test practical strategies that fit daily life.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone can be a simpler check-in with less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can fit brief coaching, quick check-ins, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, fit appointments around work or caregiving, and try different formats as needs change.
