01About Lana
Lana Kamer is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the effects of trauma. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to what each person brings. Her style is practical and compassionate so concerns feel manageable from session one.
Lana works from a client-centered place that keeps the person's goals first. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to surface unhelpful thought patterns and solution-focused steps to build small changes fast.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about what they want. Over 15 years practicing in Michigan, Lana has supported people through relationship strains, workplace pressure, pregnancy transitions, and losses. She also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, eating-related problems, and challenges tied to aging and blended families.
Many clients seek help with family of origin matters and communication struggles. In sessions she focuses on clear, usable tools: communication skills, coping plans for anxiety, grief pacing, and simple behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. Narrative work is used to help people reframe painful stories and find new meaning after trauma.
Sessions can be short-term to solve a specific problem or longer-term for deeper healing. Lana aims to create a steady, respectful space so people can try new ways of handling old problems and feel more able to move forward.

How Lana's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's needs and goals. The therapist listens deeply and follows what the person says matters most, helping them shape each session around their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel unsure or stuck. It uses focused questions and reflective listening to clarify goals and boost readiness for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques as progress or needs change so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
