About Nancy
Nancy Kollhoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing LGBT-related concerns, grief and loss, low self-esteem, big life changes, and compassion fatigue. Her work also touches on issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation.
Nancy prefers concrete conversations that focus on what’s happening now. She listens to how problems show up in daily life and looks for small, practical changes to try. Conversations are client-centered, with room to use different methods as needs call for.
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and test new ways of responding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform how she looks at relationships and emotional patterns that keep people stuck. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she structures sessions around each person’s perspectives and goals.
Nancy has worked with people affected by serious medical issues, including cancer and traumatic brain injury, and with those coping with guilt, shame, or prejudice. She also supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress and military-related concerns. Her approach is direct and practical, focusing on skills that can be used between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and are designed to fit into everyday life. People who want to start can follow the site’s process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Nancy blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy with elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy. CBT is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and build coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's perspective and priorities, making sessions driven by what the client notices is most pressing. Emotionally-Focused ideas help when emotional patterns in relationships or personal responses are keeping someone stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or obstacles appear. This is a collaborative process focused on practical steps and regular review.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discussing session length and frequency happens during the initial scheduling so sessions fit the client’s life and needs.
