Vicki Lannerholm offers a practical, person-centered approach to counseling.
01About Vicki
Vicki Lannerholm offers a practical, person-centered approach to counseling. She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, and a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 15 years of experience. Vicki focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions in plain, straightforward ways.
Vicki centers sessions on the person rather than a label. She listens first, then uses clear psychological ideas to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Conversations are aimed at building simple skills and awareness that can change daily life. She emphasizes that change happens through growth, learning, and shifts in how the brain and behavior interact. Her work draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, existential thinking, and mindfulness practices.
That mix lets her tailor sessions to problems like sleep trouble, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, career stress, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people living with ADHD and those coping with grief or major life shifts. Vicki has a varied background that includes behavioral management, faith-based counseling, academia, and public policy.
She has practiced in the Midwest and Southwest and holds professional licenses in multiple states. That breadth of experience informs a down-to-earth style that values practical tools over jargon. Sessions are offered in English and Swedish and can be done by video, phone, chat, or text messaging.
People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work and real-life change
Vicki combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building understanding so people feel heard and can name what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral methods look at thoughts and behaviors to create small, testable changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises that help with stress, emotional upsets, and staying present during tough moments.Finding the best approach is part of the therapy process. She works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means trying things, reviewing how they worked, and adjusting the plan rather than following a fixed path.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, regular touchpoints. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy schedule.
