Lana Vsetecka-Schymos, LPC

Lana Vsetecka-Schymos is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 35 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stuck by listening closely and offering steady support. Lana works to create an open atmosphere where worries and hopes can be talked about without judgment.

Her work covers common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and family issues. She also supports people facing life changes, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns around self-esteem and confidence. Jealousy, codependency, and commitment worries are among the specific themes she helps people untangle.

Lana draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow the client's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are mixed in when practical steps and thought patterns need attention. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are used to help people notice patterns and find the energy to change.

Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and goal-oriented while also respecting the pace each person needs. Lana helps people make small, clear changes that add up over time. She encourages curiosity about feelings and choices rather than blame.

People who want to begin will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Lana accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary with location, and the subscription can be canceled at any time.

How Lana's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most, which works well when sessions are scheduled around daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect and uses simple exercises to try different responses; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing here-and-now experience and small shifts in attention to reduce reactivity and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lana discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques to fit those needs. She collaborates on what to try first and reviews what helps most as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use tools such as worksheets or guided mindfulness practices between meetings to build steady progress.
