Vicki Lannerholm

Vicki Lannerholm is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She aims to make counseling simple and practical. Vicki focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship or intimacy struggles, sleep problems, parenting pressures, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and major life changes.

She uses a trauma-focused perspective alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. Sessions emphasize clear information, plain language, and steps people can try between meetings. The work often blends looking at past patterns with learning new habits that change how the brain and body respond to stress.

Vicki describes counseling as a collaborative process rather than advice-giving. She listens, offers psychological insight, and helps people apply principles that fit their daily lives. Some people need only a few sessions, while others take longer depending on what they want to address.

Her background includes roles as a behavioral management specialist, faith-based counselor, and a college adjunct professor. She holds NM LPCC and MI LPC licenses and has worked in corporate, clinical, non-profit, managed care, and government mental health settings.

Vicki speaks English and Swedish and welcomes international clients. Her approach aims to help people gain awareness, learn practical tools, and move forward at their own pace.

How trauma-informed and client-centered care translates online

Vicki integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit online work. Trauma-Focused Therapy here means paying attention to how past harms affect current patterns and helping people learn skills to reduce reactivity. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building on each person’s own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and gives practical exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in and adjusting methods over time so work stays relevant and helpful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, let someone meet with a licensed professional from different places, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. They also let people use tools like worksheets, breathing exercises, and behavioral experiments between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
