Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that align with their values. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships. It can be useful for people working on intimacy, trust, abandonment issues, or repeating relational patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive stance that emphasizes empathy and the client’s own capacity for growth. It helps people build self-understanding, improve self-esteem, and navigate transitions or grief.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lois works with each person to identify what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches to support change.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are not practical.
