About Lana

Lana Kamer is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and family concerns, and lists social anxiety and phobia among the issues she addresses. Lana speaks English and frames sessions so practical steps come first.

Her approach focuses on clear, actionable strategies. She uses client-centered methods to listen and understand each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and practice small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making changes.

Lana often helps people with relationship and family-related struggles like communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns. She also works with issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, and codependency. First responder issues and aging or geriatric matters are included among her areas of experience.

In sessions she focuses on concrete goals such as improving communication, reducing avoidance, managing mood, and building coping skills for grief or trauma. Narrative and solution-focused techniques help people see different stories about themselves and try practical next steps. The work is paced to the person and their daily life.

To start, clients follow a short intake process and schedule an initial meeting where goals and methods are discussed. Lana uses her years of practice to combine several approaches into a plan that addresses immediate problems and longer-term patterns.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them set personal goals and decide what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses guided practice to try small, manageable changes that reduce anxiety. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build confidence to take the next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lana works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The early sessions are used to agree on goals and to try techniques that feel doable for daily life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals often use these practical options to help people maintain continuity of care while managing work, family and other demands.
