She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, eating issues, career strain, ADHD, and life changes.

Lois earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Nova Southeastern University in 1984 and holds LCMHC and LMHC credentials.
Background and approach
She has worked in clinical settings, taught and supervised counselors, and has long experience with individual and group work. Her background gives her a broad view of common struggles and realistic ways to address them. Her style is person-centered and collaborative.
She starts with a detailed intake that looks at personal and family history, current issues, and strengths. Together with the client she builds a plan that often includes small behavioral steps, homework, and role-play to practice new habits. Lois uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs.
That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to focus values and action, EMDR for processing trauma, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. She asks for consent and explains methods before using them. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clear goals, and active participation.
Lois encourages feedback and aims to be honest and direct while supporting people as they make changes in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and the frustration of living with ADHD. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns; it often includes short exercises and homework to use between sessions and can help with mood, stress, and focus. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that guides people to process distressing memories so they have less emotional charge; this can be useful for people with trauma-related symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most, and decisions are made collaboratively.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls give face-to-face interaction for skill practice and EMDR work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and chat or text can support quick check-ins or short skill coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping consistent progress.
