About Lana

Lana Kamer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of experience supporting people through difficult moments. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and family-related concerns. Lana aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can name what’s hard and begin to change day-to-day patterns.

Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring methods to each person’s needs. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the client. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Lana helps people strengthen communication, reduce isolation, and rebuild trust in themselves after painful experiences. She offers tools to manage worry, cope with loss, and address eating and body-image concerns. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that fit into everyday life so change feels doable.

Her background includes a broad clinical practice across common life transitions. Lana has worked with clients dealing with adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, and challenges tied to aging. She also brings experience around domestic violence, codependency, and the effects of first-responder work.

Therapy with Lana is collaborative. She helps clients set realistic goals and checks in on progress. People who want clear, compassionate guidance and concrete strategies for moving forward may find her style helpful.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the client and following their pace. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to decide their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting when worry or low mood get in the way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to figure out which methods match the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation that can change over time as needs shift.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into busy lives by reducing travel time and offering more flexible timing. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals aim to adapt sessions to what works in daily routines, so practical matters like timing and session length can be discussed during intake.
