About Lois
Lois Durrah is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She focuses on helping people reconsider how they think, speak, and live so they can move toward a more meaningful life.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy along with a person-centered outlook. In practice this means setting clear, manageable goals and looking for small, practical steps that make a difference.
How Lois works
Conversations often focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building routines that support better days. Lois has worked for three decades with a nonprofit serving people with disabilities, which shaped her belief in maximizing opportunities despite obstacles. That long-term community experience informs how she talks about caregiving stress, grief, and coping with life changes.
She also brings perspective on relationships, self-esteem, career stress, and intimacy-related concerns. Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of South Carolina Upstate and dual master’s degrees in professional counseling and human services-executive leadership from Liberty University. Lois holds the LPC credential and emphasizes practical strategies combined with encouragement.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful. Lois supports work on anxiety, depression, grief, caregiving strain, self-love, and career or relationship stress by focusing on doable changes and steady progress.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT helps people notice and change thinking patterns that keep stress or low mood going. In short sessions the work often includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety or depression.Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is already working and on clear, achievable goals. It uses short, focused conversations to map steps toward a preferred outcome and is useful for career decisions, relationship issues, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lois will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. Treatment is collaborative so adjustments happen based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between appointments.
