About Vicki

Vicki Lannerholm is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self esteem concerns. Vicki uses straightforward conversation and practical psychology to help people make small changes that add up over time.

Her style centers on client-centered work and education about how the brain and behavior interact. She blends cognitive behavioral tools with emotionally-focused and existential ideas to help people understand why they feel stuck. Sessions often include skill building, reflection, and real-world strategies to test between meetings.

Vicki draws on a long career that began in behavioral management and faith-based mentoring. She later completed a master’s degree and earned professional licensure as an LPCC and LPC, and has worked in clinical, corporate, nonprofit, and government mental health settings. She has also taught as an adjunct college professor.

People consult her for a wide range of issues including grief, relationship and intimacy questions, career transitions, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD, and life-purpose concerns. She also addresses aging, end-of-life topics, and first responder or veteran-related stress.

Vicki approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She listens, offers psychoeducation, and helps people try practical steps to change thinking and behavior. Her aim is to help clients regain control of day-to-day life and build more dependable habits over time.

How Vicki’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the therapist. It prioritizes the client’s perspective and helps people feel heard while they identify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions, repair ruptures in close relationships, and build more stable emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vicki will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals. She often blends approaches so the plan matches what someone wants to change and how they prefer to work.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Therapists can still use CBT exercises, emotional processing, and client-centered conversations effectively through remote sessions, and these methods translate into practical steps people can try between meetings.
