How Lois works
Early in her career she worked in residential addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs, and she has led support groups and life-skills classes. Her background includes faith-based counseling alongside evidence-based approaches. In sessions she blends practical skills with attention to emotions.
She aims to be both compassionate and direct so progress is steady and understandable. Lois helps people manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and stress. She also supports those facing issues like codependency, substance use, abandonment wounds, and grief.
Many clients come for help with intimacy or communication problems and leave with clearer ways to act and relate. Therapy with Lois usually focuses on small, realistic changes. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused methods, and acceptance and commitment ideas.
The emphasis is on building skills, increasing awareness, and deciding what matters most.

How Lois Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and move toward what matters despite hard feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with meaning or motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns and trying small experiments to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people clarify needs and repair connection, which can help with intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend techniques to try. Over time methods can be adjusted so the work stays practical and relevant to the client's life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not desired. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
