About Lana
With 15 years of practice, Lana combines straightforward conversation with tools that clients can use between sessions. She helps people build better communication, reduce isolation, and reconnect with what matters to them. Sessions emphasize clear strategies as well as space to make sense of difficult feelings.
Lana uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems stuck. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when clients want to make real changes but feel uncertain how to start.
People seeking support for eating issues, codependency, domestic violence aftermath, communication breakdowns, or forgiveness work can find practical steps in sessions. Lana frames progress as steady and collaborative, helping people leave each appointment with at least one concrete next step.

How Lana's approaches translate to online support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is important to the person and helps them set the pace. It works well for people who need a gentle space to sort feelings and define goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It uses simple exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking. This approach often suits anxiety, depression, and stress where practical change matters.
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen a person's own reasons for change. It can help when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making shifts in their life.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration begins in the first sessions and can be adjusted over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm available formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and remove travel time. Many people find the flexibility helps them maintain steady progress while balancing everyday responsibilities.
