Nancy Kollhoff, LPC

Nancy Kollhoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 18 years of experience in clinical work. She focuses on helping people navigate LGBT-related concerns, grief and loss, shifts in motivation, challenges with self-esteem and confidence, and major life changes. Her background also includes support for those experiencing compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and a range of health-related challenges such as chronic pain, illness, or disability.

Nancy pays particular attention to the needs of older adults who may be home bound or coping with declining health and reduced opportunities for socializing. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek support and aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate environment. Treatment is shaped around each person - Nancy tailors conversations and constructs individualized treatment plans to address unique needs and goals.

Whether addressing relationship concerns, trauma, isolation, or the complex emotions that follow loss and medical challenges, Nancy emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies to help clients move toward a more fulfilling life. She is available for clients across Michigan and brings steady, experienced guidance to the therapeutic process.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Nancy integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in ways that suit each person she sees. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions - it helps people build self-awareness and self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, and adjustment to life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses, often helping with relationship concerns and processing grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Nancy collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and challenges evolve.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules, limited mobility, or geographic constraints. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent support from a licensed professional without rearranging major parts of their lives. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain momentum in therapy and to apply new skills between sessions.
