Lana Kamer, LPC

Lana Kamer is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience helping people through hard times. She aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable for someone juggling school, work, or parenting. Lana listens first and helps people set clear, doable goals for change.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, and solution-focused strategies to help people break unhelpful patterns. Sessions often include skill-building for anxiety, mood management, and clearer communication. Lana helps people untangle family-of-origin issues, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles in everyday language.

Lana draws on motivational interviewing and narrative methods when people need to clarify values or reframe difficult life stories. That can help when someone faces adoption and foster care questions, abandonment wounds, or the aftermath of domestic violence. She aims to make progress feel measurable and steady rather than vague.

In therapy she emphasizes simple tools you can use between sessions. That might mean short behavior experiments, communication rehearsals, or rewriting a problem story to spot strengths. Lana also supports people dealing with body image, eating-related issues, codependency, and control challenges.

Clients living in Michigan will meet with a calm, direct clinician who focuses on what matters right now. Her style is warm and practical, with a focus on skills and clearer thinking. Lana helps people move from feeling stuck to taking clear next steps.

How Lana’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and understood while they decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lana will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and adjusting plans as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit real life. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice, phone works well for shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick support and written exercises. These options let people schedule sessions around work, childcare, or school and keep momentum between visits.
