Background and approach
She brings 35 years of experience to her work and has taught and supervised prospective counselors at Palm Beach State College. Her style centers on a person-centered stance that treats the client as the expert on their life. After an intake that covers personal and family history, she and the client build a plan together.
Plans commonly include behavioral steps, role-play, and homework to practice skills between sessions. Lois blends talking with somatic and experiential tools. She may include hypnotherapy, tapping techniques, EMDR, acceptance and commitment ideas, and cognitive-behavioral methods when the client and therapist agree those approaches fit the goals.
Sessions ask for active participation and focus on building strengths. Throughout work with clients she aims to be honest and down-to-earth. The intention is to help people gain more control, clearer choices, and practical ways to manage symptoms and life stressors.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Lois often combines somatic-informed work with acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered methods. Somatic work pays attention to body sensations and how they relate to stress or trauma, helping people notice and shift physical patterns that keep problems active. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning small actions that move a person toward those values despite painful thoughts or feelings. Client-centered therapy creates an accepting space where the person sets goals and the therapist follows their lead to build insight and confidence.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lois will talk with the person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. The process is about finding what helps the individual feel safer, more capable, and more in control of daily life.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work from home. People can use video for face-to-face conversation, phone if they prefer voice only, or messaging for shorter check-ins and reflection between sessions.
