Nancy Kollhoff

Nancy Kollhoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing loneliness, loss, and major life changes. She focuses on practical support for self-esteem, motivation, and the emotional strain that comes with illness or caregiving. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and paced to match what feels manageable.

She brings 18 years of experience to sessions and centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work. Nancy listens first and adapts her approach to fit what a person wants to achieve. That might mean learning new ways to manage difficult thoughts, practicing how to ask for support, or slowing down to process grief.

People who come for help with compassion fatigue, chronic illness, or bereavement can expect straightforward, concrete steps alongside space to share feelings. Nancy also addresses issues tied to identity and prejudice, such as LGBT concerns and the emotional effects of discrimination.

Sessions often explore patterns that keep someone feeling stuck and introduce small changes that can make daily life easier. Nancy helps people notice what drains them and what restores them, and she works with each person to set realistic goals.

If you are juggling caregiving, recovery from illness, or the aftermath of separation, Nancy aims to provide steady support while you regain energy and direction. To begin, follow the Start Therapy process and schedule a time that fits your rhythm.

How Nancy’s approaches work online and in practice

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person guides the conversation and the therapist reflects and clarifies. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood before making change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build small habits that reduce loneliness, anxiety, or low mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify and work through strong emotions and attachment patterns. It can be useful for processing grief, abandonment feelings, or intense reactions tied to past hurts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

For practical online care, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue support during illness, caregiving periods, or other life changes where leaving home is harder. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to suit both steady weekly sessions and shorter follow-ups based on what works best for the client.
