About Lois

That long history shaped a focus on maximizing opportunities and finding strengths despite obstacles.

The work can include problem solving for career worries, coaching around life transitions, or pacing grief and loss.
Lois values a warm, encouraging tone and aims to make sessions feel like a welcoming space to process hard things. She also supports people managing caregiver stress and working to build self-love. Her background in counseling and leadership informs a practical, hopeful style.
She holds a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of South Carolina Spartanburg and dual masters degrees in Professional Counseling and Human Services-Executive Leadership from Liberty University. Lois is a Nationally Certified Counselor and a licensed minister who emphasizes compassionate, down-to-earth care.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Lois commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. In CBT clients learn to spot unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and track how those changes shift mood and stress. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which zeroes in on goals and practical steps. Sessions using this approach identify what is already working, set concrete short-term goals, and build forward from strengths rather than digging into every past detail.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lois will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest strategies to try together. The plan can change as progress is made, and the therapist works with clients to find the methods that feel most useful.
