About Lois
Lois Plock is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and works collaboratively to set goals that feel realistic. Her style is direct but compassionate and aims to reduce daily overwhelm and improve coping.
Lois began her clinical path later in life and says that lived experience shaped her perspective. That background led her through roles in residential addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs.
Background and approach
She has also facilitated support groups, taught life skills, and given talks on recovery and resilience. Her clinical toolkit draws on a mix of evidence-based methods and a client-centered stance. In sessions she uses practical skills from cognitive behavioral approaches, emotion regulation strategies from dialectical work, and acceptance-based ideas to help people live by their values.
She blends these with gentle exploration of meaning when spiritual concerns arise. Lois has worked with people dealing with trauma, substance use, codependency, grief, low self-esteem, and issues around intimacy and control. She pays attention to how past family dynamics and feelings of abandonment affect present choices.
Her aim is to help clients notice patterns, try different responses, and build steadier daily routines. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and maintains licenses in North Carolina and Florida. Lois practices in Florida and offers sessions in English.
People who want to begin can expect straightforward guidance about next steps and a focus on usable skills from the first meetings.
Online approaches that focus on skills and values
Lois uses methods that teach concrete skills and help people clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes living by personal values while learning to tolerate difficult feelings without avoiding them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lois will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest strategies that fit those aims. That collaborative planning means techniques can be adjusted over time when something is not working.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill coaching, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can serve as brief check-ins or between-session support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while focusing on measurable steps toward feeling better.
