She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and helps people manage life changes and build self-esteem.

She incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to test unhelpful thinking and develop alternative behaviors. Mindfulness methods are used when slowing down and noticing feelings helps decision making.
Over decades of practice she has supported people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, and family problems more broadly. She also works with people grappling with guilt, shame, isolation, jealousy, and questions about life purpose.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the individual's experience and following the client's priorities. It helps people feel heard and clarifies which problems to address first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and practice alternative ways of responding, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lana will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adapt methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process may mix listening, thought-focused exercises, and mindfulness practice.
