About Lana
Lana Kamer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and family concerns, including blended family issues. Lana helps people facing life transitions and difficult emotions in straightforward, practical sessions.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with CBT and solution-focused methods. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life strategies. Lana listens to what matters, then helps clients try small changes that make daily life easier.
She uses narrative techniques to help people reframe painful stories and to reduce the hold of past events. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing changes or feeling stuck. These methods are applied to concerns like abandonment, communication problems, codependency, and divorce or separation stress.
Lana has experience with topics tied to family backgrounds, adoption and foster care, aging, and first responder issues. She also addresses body image, eating and food-related challenges, and recovery from domestic violence and abuse. The work often includes improving communication and managing control issues within everyday routines.
Sessions aim for practical coping skills and clearer decision making. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking. To begin, follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How Lana’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own priorities and perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set their own goals. This approach supports issues such as anxiety, grief, and family-related stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that translate well to in-session discussion and between-session practice.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels uncertain about change. It uses focused conversation to clarify values and increase readiness to try new actions, which can be helpful for transitions, relationship decisions, or managing patterns like codependency.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints, and then recommend methods to try. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques if something isn’t working.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list them here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist at intake about scheduling that matches your routine and communication preferences.
