About Nancy
Nancy Kollhoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people who are facing LGBT-related concerns, grief and loss, low self-esteem, life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are described plainly and focus on talking through feelings, practical coping, and rebuilding confidence.
Nancy uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In practice she listens for the emotions under the problem and helps people name and respond to those feelings. She also uses CBT techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Her work includes attention to issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, cancer and chronic illness, chronic pain, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, prejudice and discrimination, self-love, traumatic brain injury, and women’s issues. She supports people dealing with the practical effects of these concerns as well as the emotional impact.
Nancy speaks English and sees clients in Michigan. She describes sessions as conversational and goal-focused, aiming to help people sharpen motivation and regain a sense of control when life feels overwhelming. Practical skills and emotional understanding are both part of how she works.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are run on a subscription basis that can be canceled at any time, with fees that vary by location.
How Emotion-Focused and Practical Therapies Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that drive behavior. It can help when strong feelings are hard to put into words or when patterns repeat. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and uses supportive conversation to clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to recognize and shift thought and behavior patterns that cause distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as goals evolve and new issues arise.
Confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help when a quieter or quicker appointment is preferable. Ask about session structure and timing when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical details are clear before your first appointment.
