About Lana
Lana Vsetecka-Schymos is a licensed professional counselor with 35 years of experience in Colorado. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and the everyday struggles that make life harder. Lana aims to make the first step feel less intimidating for anyone thinking about therapy.
Lana listens without judgment and helps clients name what matters most to them. She uses straightforward conversation to clarify problems and to find practical next steps.
Background and approach
Sessions are calm and direct so people can talk through feelings and start to feel steadier. Her work draws on Jungian therapy and client-centered methods, which help people look at personal patterns and inner meaning. Lana also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools to address unhelpful thoughts and reduce anxiety in daily life.
Motivational interviewing helps when people want to shift habits or find new direction. She has long experience with relationship and family concerns, including parenting, blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and family of origin difficulties. Other focuses include trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Lana offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She works with people dealing with codependency, commitment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and related struggles. Her approach is practical, steady, and oriented toward small, achievable changes.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Lana uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Approach and online session options
Jungian therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and recurring life patterns to help people understand deeper motives and find meaning in difficult experiences. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and empathy so the person feels heard and can decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful thinking to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lana will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She combines approaches as needed so the work fits the person's situation and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy steady while fitting it into everyday life.
