About Lana
Lana Vsetecka-Schymos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 35 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and life transitions. Lana also works with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and concerns related to LGBT identity and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She listens first and asks practical questions to clarify what matters most. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small, realistic steps to get there.
Lana uses a mix of methods, including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and insights from Jungian and psychodynamic thinking. She explains ideas plainly and shows how they apply to daily life, not as abstract theory.
People looking at blended household challenges or adoption and foster care issues will find specific attention to merging routines, co-parenting tensions, loyalty conflicts, and communication problems. She also addresses codependency, separation and divorce concerns, and fatherhood issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Lana accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects back concerns, helps clarify priorities, and supports people making their own decisions. This approach is useful for anyone feeling stuck or unsure where to start.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress. It breaks problems into manageable parts and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship tensions in blended households.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lana will discuss options and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The profile does not specify which online session formats she uses, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients choose online sessions because they fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, or make it easier to check in between other obligations. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins or phone conversations when video is impractical. Licensed professionals adapt tools and exercises so they still translate into the online space, focusing on practical steps a client can use in everyday life.
