Nancy Kollhoff, LPC

Nancy Kollhoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of clinical experience. She supports people facing LGBT concerns, grief, low self-esteem, major life changes, and compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and practical conversation tailored to each person’s situation.

She meets people where they are and builds a plan together. Sessions focus on clear goals such as processing loss, rebuilding confidence, or managing burnout. Nancy uses straightforward talk and problem-solving to help clients take small, realistic steps forward.

Nancy blends several well-known therapy approaches to match client needs. Client-Centered Therapy guides the relationship and keeps the client’s priorities central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that hold people back. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when stronger attention to emotions and attachment-style reactions is helpful.

Her background includes many years working with people facing chronic illness, chronic pain, caregiver stress, and life transitions such as divorce and separation. She also has experience supporting people impacted by trauma, prejudice, and military-related issues. Practical coping skills are a common thread across her work.

Nancy emphasizes a collaborative process. She asks questions, listens closely, and adjusts the plan as needs shift. The goal is steady, manageable progress toward clearer thinking, better emotion management, and stronger self-regard.

How Nancy’s Approaches Translate Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on making the session about the client's goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and adjusts conversation and pacing to what the client needs most, which helps when processing grief or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavior changes, and tracking progress over time to boost self-esteem and reduce anxious or negative patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions and attachment patterns. It can be useful for clients who want to better understand emotional reactions after loss or trauma and build more constructive ways to respond.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques fit the situation and personality.
