About Vicki
Vicki Lannerholm is a licensed clinician who combines practical psychology with down-to-earth guidance. She brings 15 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, parenting, and life transitions. Vicki communicates plainly and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of daily life.
She favors a client-centered way of working that starts with listening and understanding each person’s priorities. From there she uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Vicki also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to clarify what matters in close relationships and in-intimacy related concerns. Her background includes roles as a behavioral management specialist, faith-based counselor, and adjunct college professor. She holds the LPCC credential and the LPC credential and has worked across clinical, corporate, nonprofit, and public policy settings.
That breadth informs a practical, problem-solving approach rather than jargon-filled therapy sessions. Sessions typically emphasize learning and small, concrete steps that people can use between meetings. Vicki talks through coping skills for sleep, mood, and stress, and she helps people untangle career and life-purpose questions.
She frames change as a process - some people shift quickly, others take longer - and she adjusts work to each person’s pace. Vicki offers services in English and Swedish and is based in Michigan. She accepts international clients and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Online tools and therapy approaches that support real change
Vicki uses client-centered work to begin sessions by listening and clarifying what matters most to each person. This approach focuses on the client’s priorities and builds a plan around their goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice small changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or lift mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Vicki collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust techniques, and track progress so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online formats make that collaborative work flexible. Video calls let people meet face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief questions, coaching-style support, or when someone wants to process between scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different time zones without changing the clinical goals.
