About Vicki

Vicki Lannerholm brings a cognitive behavioral orientation together with humanistic and emotionally focused perspectives to help clients address stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

As an LPCC and LPC with 15 years of clinical experience, she frames therapy around practical psychological principles and psychoeducation, aiming to translate insight into everyday changes that affect thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and learning rather than quick fixes; she treats people rather than diagnoses and uses concise, solution-focused strategies alongside exploration of developmental history when helpful. Vicki draws on training in Client-Centered, Mindfulness, Existential, and Emotionally-Focused therapies, and she combines that background with neuropsychological ideas to support rewiring of habitual patterns over time.

Vicki has worked across nonprofit, clinical, managed care, corporate, and public policy settings and has experience in multiple regions including the Midwest and Southwest. She offers services in English and Swedish and accepts international clients, helping people navigate career issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and sleeping problems, ADHD-related challenges, life transitions, and end-of-life or hospice-related matters.

Integrating CBT and Emotionally-Focused Work in Remote Care

Vicki often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by offering clear strategies and skill-building exercises. She also draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore attachment and relationship patterns, helping people understand emotional responses and improve intimacy and communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vicki frames that choice as collaborative. She will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting concerns, adapting methods from CBT, client-centered, or emotionally-focused work to suit individual needs rather than following a single fixed model.

Online therapy with Vicki uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access across time zones and schedules. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, continue work during life transitions, or maintain contact when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured, skill-oriented interventions and reflective emotional work tailored to each client.
