About Vicki

Vicki Lannerholm is a licensed counselor practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She uses Mindfulness Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life changes. Vicki frames counseling as a practical, down-to-earth process that helps people learn new ways to respond to old patterns.

She keeps sessions focused on understanding how thoughts, body sensations, and behaviors interact. Vicki emphasizes awareness and simple, actionable strategies that people can try between meetings. She views clients as the experts on their own lives and offers guidance that aims to be clear and usable in everyday situations.

Her background spans behavioral management, faith-based counseling, and roles in corporate, nonprofit, and public mental health settings. Vicki also spent time teaching as a college adjunct and completed doctoral coursework in clinical psychology. Her combined experience informs a practical style that blends psychology, lifespan development, and neuropsychological ideas.

Vicki helps people work through relationship and intimacy-related stress, parenting strain, career questions, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with end-of-life planning, first responder and veteran issues, and recovery from infidelity or separation. The focus is on usable tools rather than labels.

People seeking help begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to talk. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and international clients who speak English or Swedish may connect as well.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on paying attention to the present moment with curiosity and nonjudgment. It can help people notice patterns of thought and bodily reactions tied to anxiety, sleep problems, grief, and stress so they have more choice in how to respond.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens deeply and reflects what matters to the client, helping people clarify goals and build self-trust for relationship, career, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers straightforward strategies to test unhelpful beliefs, change behaviors, and reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep disruption.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining mindfulness practice with client-centered reflection and CBT-based exercises to create a plan that feels practical and doable.

If you want to pursue therapy online, confirm the session formats directly before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so people can meet from a convenient location. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness and CBT techniques effectively over distance while helping clients practice tools between sessions.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
