Lana Kamer, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Lana

Lana Kamer is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the impact of trauma and abuse. She writes plainly and listens closely. Many clients come feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start, and Lana focuses on practical steps to reduce distress and regain a sense of control.

Her work is grounded in clear, down-to-earth conversations. Sessions aim to improve communication skills, address difficult emotions, and rebuild routines that feel manageable.

Background and approach

Lana also supports people dealing with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family adjustments, and aging concerns. She has 15 years of experience in counseling and uses a few core methods to guide the work. Lana relies on client-centered practices to make space for each person’s priorities.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments that can change outcomes. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when someone wants help finding the energy to make changes. Solution-focused strategies keep sessions practical, highlighting what works now and what can be tried next.

Narrative elements help people reframe painful stories and reclaim meaning after loss or conflict. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through online formats. Lana approaches the therapeutic relationship with warmth and respect, guiding people step by step through decision points and setbacks.

The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and usable skills for everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit busy lives

Client-centered therapy is about listening and following what matters most to the person in the room. It creates space for clients to name goals and priorities and for the therapist to respond to those needs rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that increase stress and testing simple changes to reduce symptoms. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lana will talk with each client about what feels most helpful and try different strategies together. Changes are paced to match the person’s goals, energy, and life demands so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make ongoing work easier to fit into a schedule. These formats allow conversations to continue between busy appointments and make it possible to check in from home or work. The combination of straightforward methods and flexible appointment types aims to make progress more possible for people juggling daily responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
