In sessions she focuses on clear goals and achievable strategies rather than jargon. Her work blends client-centered methods with evidence-informed tools. That means Lois offers space to be heard while also teaching skills for handling strong emotions and stressful situations.

The aim is calmer days, clearer choices, and better ways of getting needs met. Sessions move at a practical pace set by each person. Lois supports decision making, skill building, and problem solving so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings.

She invites clients to set the focus and shape the work together.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In this approach the therapist creates space to be heard, then helps the person decide what changes matter most and how to take small steps toward them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for reducing anxious thinking, lifting low mood, and breaking cycles of avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing connection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
