About Lois
She believes clients know their own stories and builds on individual strengths. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to each person and finding workable steps forward. Lois offers a calm presence and clear tools to help manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
Her approach draws from several therapy styles including acceptance-based and cognitive methods. That means she helps people notice difficult thoughts, choose actions that match their values, and practice skills that change unhelpful behavior over time. Attachment-oriented ideas also guide her work when past relationships shape current patterns.
Lois has worked in the field for many years and brings steady experience to sessions. She explains options simply and helps clients try out approaches that fit their life. Her goal is to support people as they regain control and reconnect with what matters to them.
Clients who want to begin are invited to ask questions and arrange times that suit their schedules. Lois typically checks messages several times a day from Tuesday through Saturday and will coordinate scheduling after an initial match and questionnaire.

How Lois blends approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lois will collaborate with each person to test methods and pick what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a joint process that may shift over time as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try different ways of working from where they already are and focus on practical skills that transfer into daily routines.
