About Lana
Lana Vsetecka-Schymos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 35 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Lana aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable and supported.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about what matters to them. Lana listens for the practical problems behind strong feelings and helps people find clear next steps. She often works on communication problems, self-esteem, and coping skills that can be used right away.
Her work also addresses relationship strains, family conflict, and parenting concerns. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, and grief. She supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and the load of long-term worry.
Therapeutic methods Lana uses include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, Jungian ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are brought together to fit each person’s needs rather than as a single fixed method.
Lana encourages straightforward goals and steady progress. She helps people name their priorities, try small changes, and notice what improves. The process is collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s goals. It helps people feel heard and supports them to make their own changes, which can be helpful for relationship and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness practices bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity to stress. They are useful for managing strong emotions, compassion fatigue, and ongoing worry.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lana works together with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel demands, which can make it simpler to keep regular sessions.
