About Vicki
Vicki Lannerholm is a licensed counselor with 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress, trauma, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. She holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices from a practical, person-focused standpoint. Her work is straightforward and geared to everyday problem solving.
Vicki keeps sessions simple and clear. She listens first, then offers psychological knowledge that fits each person's situation. She leans on proven methods to help clients notice patterns, learn new responses, and make changes that feel manageable.
Background and approach
Her background includes behavioral management, faith-based counseling, and roles in corporate, clinical, non-profit, and public mental health settings. She also has experience teaching at the college level. Those varied roles inform how she explains ideas and offers practical tools.
Vicki uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive techniques, emotionally focused ideas, existential questions, and mindfulness practices. In conversation she helps people connect thoughts, feelings, and choices so they can try different actions in daily life. She emphasizes learning and small steps rather than quick fixes.
Sessions may include straightforward psychoeducation, skill practice, and reflective conversation about values and goals. She frames change as a process that can take a few sessions or more, depending on the person. Her aim is to help people get un-stuck and move toward clearer direction.
Vicki sees issues like parenting, intimacy and relationship strain, work and career stress, sleep problems, ADHD, and coping with major life changes. She speaks English and Swedish and works with people who are ready to try focused, practical therapy.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide on goals and steps forward based on their own values and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, stress, sleeping problems, and many daily challenges.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and shift emotional responses that affect relationships and intimacy. It can be useful for improving connection and handling emotional reactions in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you choose methods based on your goals, needs, and how you prefer to work. That decision happens collaboratively and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, keep continuity during life changes, and use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools to work well across these formats so people can keep moving forward from wherever they are.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
