Background and approach
Sessions aim to build awareness and small changes clients can use between visits. Her work has included people coping with panic attacks, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and workplace strain. Lois also helps those dealing with issues around abandonment, attachment, and caregiver stress.
Conversations often cover how guilt, control needs, or communication problems affect daily life. In sessions she favors straightforward language and a calm pace. Lois supports clients in setting achievable goals and trying practical tools for coping.
She checks in about progress and adjusts the plan when something is not working. Lois practices in California and conducts therapy in English. She offers a mix of live and messaging options so people can pick what fits their routine.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
Approaches that meet anxiety and trauma online
Lois draws on body-informed and trauma-focused techniques that help people notice how stress shows up physically and emotionally. Body-informed methods teach simple ways to track sensations and use breathing or grounding to reduce intense reactions; these approaches can be useful for panic attacks and trauma responses.She also uses trauma-focused interventions that help clients identify memories and patterns that keep symptoms active. These methods aim to increase awareness of triggers and to build new responses to those triggers over time, which can help with post-traumatic stress and chronic anxiety.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lois will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is observed. Clients share feedback and together they decide what to try next.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for short updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
