Background and approach
She has also taught and supervised counseling students in a college setting and brings that teaching mindset to clinical work. Her approach centers on the client. After an intake that reviews personal and family history, she and the client set clear goals and a practical plan.
Homework, role-play, and behavior-based exercises are commonly part of treatment so progress can be tracked between sessions. Lois uses a mix of methods tailored to what a person needs. She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, EMDR, and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
Techniques such as tapping and hypnotherapy are explained fully and used only with client agreement. Sessions focus on building skills, strengthening self-esteem, and creating realistic, manageable steps forward. Lois aims to help people take responsibility for choices while offering guidance and support along the way.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take steps that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, life changes, and problems that persist despite efforts to avoid them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It often includes practice exercises between sessions. Client-centered therapy centers the person's goals and experience, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps build self-esteem and self-directed change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a person's history, current needs, and preferences, then suggest methods that fit best. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for full sessions that include conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule.
