About Nancy
Nancy Kollhoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with grief, low self-esteem, life transitions, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related concerns. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to meet each person where they are.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions around a person's priorities. That means conversations are guided by the client's experiences and goals rather than a rigid agenda. Nancy also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which can help with emotional processing and connection.
Nancy tailors dialogue and the plan of care to each person’s needs. She acknowledges how chronic illness, caregiving, trauma, and major life changes can wear a person down. Practical steps and small behavior changes are part of how she works when they fit the client's goals.
Her background includes work with issues tied to abandonment, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, divorce, guilt and shame, isolation, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, prejudice and discrimination, traumatic brain injury, and women's issues. She frames these concerns in everyday terms and focuses on what can be done now.
Nancy emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. She aims to support clients as they take steps toward greater confidence, clearer direction, and more satisfying day-to-day life.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities, letting the conversation follow what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs a therapist who listens, reflects, and helps them set their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It often includes small experiments or behavior changes to reduce unhelpful patterns and build practical skills for coping with stress or low mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on understanding and processing strong feelings. It can be useful when someone wants help naming emotions, working through loss, or rebuilding emotional connection with themselves and others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and exercises fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited over time as needs change.
