About Lana

Lana Vsetecka-Schymos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 35 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients take practical steps toward feeling better.

Lana builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters most to them. She encourages clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions often center on understanding thinking patterns, practical coping skills, and improving communication in important relationships.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and Mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Jungian and psychodynamic ideas are part of her approach when exploring deeper life stories and patterns.

Clients come for help with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, family conflict, and issues around identity and relationships. She also addresses career stress, compassion fatigue, and problems like codependency or commitment fears. Lana supports people navigating adoption and blended family issues as well.

She speaks English and can work with international clients. If someone is ready to begin, the process starts by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. In this approach the therapist reflects what the person says and helps them find their own solutions, which can reduce shame and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions; it uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, which helps reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lana will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try techniques that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce time spent traveling, and allow check-ins between larger sessions when helpful. Some formats require less bandwidth or no video, which can make sessions simpler on a work break or when a quieter setting is easier to arrange.
