Nancy Kollhoff

Nancy Kollhoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She focuses on women's issues and related concerns such as grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Nancy aims to create a respectful and sensitive space for people to talk through difficult moments and painful losses.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Nancy tailors sessions and a treatment plan to the individual, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Her work is practical and grounded in everyday goals like improving confidence, finding motivation, and managing the stress that comes from caregiving or chronic illness.

Nancy draws on client-centered approaches that keep the person’s experience at the center of work together. She also incorporates tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to help shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Emotion-focused ideas are used when relationships and emotions need careful attention.

She has experience supporting people facing loss, living with chronic medical issues, and coping with isolation or prejudice. Nancy also works with those dealing with divorce, abandonment, traumatic brain injury, and veteran-related stress among other concerns. The goal is to help people move toward clearer choices and steadier days.

Sessions are guided by compassion and respect. Nancy encourages small, manageable steps so clients can notice progress. She supports people who want practical strategies along with time to process feelings as they adjust to life changes.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to figure out their own goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of everyday functioning. This can help with low self-esteem, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, pays attention to emotions and relationship patterns and is useful when strong feelings or attachment needs are central to the issue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques as needed, and adapt based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist make decisions collaboratively about which methods to use and when to shift focus.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work through life changes or medical challenges because meetings can be scheduled from wherever the client is able to join. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can use the approaches described above to support progress during remote sessions.
