How Lois works
Her practice draws on 35 years of work in counseling, supervision, and teaching of prospective counselors. Her approach is person-centered. She treats each person as the expert on their life and centers their goals when planning work together.
Intake includes family and personal history, clear identification of issues, and recognition of strengths that can be built on. Treatment plans are practical and collaborative. Lois commonly uses behavioral agreements, role-play, esteem-building exercises, and homework to encourage active progress between sessions.
She expects clients to take part in shaping goals and tasks. Lois also integrates other methods when they match a client's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and hypnotherapy among her tools.
Techniques are explained and agreed on before being used.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions to move toward a meaningful life and can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distress linked to traumatic memories by using guided processing to reduce emotional intensity and improve coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and symptoms and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time if something is not helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which add flexibility for different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and guided techniques, phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or reduce bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep regular appointments, fit therapy into a busy life, and continue momentum between sessions.
