About Lois

Lois Mallory is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 27 years of professional experience. She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own story and that innate resources can be mobilized to address life challenges. Lois focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can explore difficult emotions and patterns, develop practical tools, and gradually find a clearer path forward.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, eating and body image concerns, parenting challenges, career matters, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication and control issues, and coping with disasters.

Lois emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, combining evidence-informed methods with an attuned, client-centered stance to help individuals confront what feels most pressing in their lives. She is glad to answer questions and generally checks messages several times each day, Tuesday through Saturday. Lois is licensed in California - CA LCSW 14860 - and is not currently accepting clients.

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.
