    About Lois

    Lois Pasapane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, eating and career issues, and challenges related to ADHD. She brings 35 years of counseling experience and a practical focus to sessions. Lois listens, asks clear questions, and works with each person to set realistic goals.

    Lois trained in counseling psychology and has worked in both Florida and North Carolina. She takes a person-centered approach, starting with a detailed intake that looks at personal and family history, current struggles, and strengths. After that assessment she and the client design a plan that often includes specific behavioral tasks and homework.

    Sessions are collaborative and active. Lois uses role-play, positive reinforcement, and esteem-building exercises to help people practice new skills. Clients are expected to take part between sessions and track progress toward their goals.

    She also incorporates techniques such as acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing, and EMDR when they fit the client’s needs. Hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique are offered selectively after a full explanation and written agreement.

    Lois emphasizes respect and honesty in the counseling relationship. Her aim is to be a resource and support while encouraging people to make choices that match their values and goals.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Lois draws on motivational interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings and find motivation for change. This approach uses open questions, reflective listening, and collaborative planning to help clarify what matters to the client.

    She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action that aligns with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides practical tools to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems like anxiety and depression.

    Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. Lois will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what felt helpful before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.

    If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Different methods lend themselves to remote work in different ways - for example, CBT homework and values exercises translate well to digital sessions, while EMDR and hypnotherapy are discussed and adapted carefully for online use when appropriate.
