Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Lois draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, accept difficult emotions, and commit to actions that align with what matters most - an approach that can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships and the ways early bonds shape present-day feelings and reactions, which can support work on intimacy, abandonment, and family dynamics. In addition, her client-centered orientation emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, giving clients space to lead the pace and focus of therapy while the therapist offers support and reflection.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lois collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as the work unfolds to ensure the plan stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to connect from different locations and schedules. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support while accommodating work, caregiving, mobility, and geographic constraints, increasing accessibility and convenience for people seeking help.
