More about Lois

  • 13 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas and Michigan with over 13 years of experience assisting clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, life change difficulties, and many other concerns. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology (2009) and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology (2007) from the University of Houston - Clear Lake. I am passionate about my work and believe that counseling is a personal journey that offers the opportunity for growth and change that can lead to clients’ fullest potential and enhanced quality of life.

My therapeutic style involves a solution-focused, client-centered approach, while helping clients to set realistic, attainable goals, teaching them necessary coping skills and tools, while guiding them through the process of change, growth, and healing, within a safe nonjudgmental, compassionate environment. It takes courage to reach out for help and I am here ready to guide and support you in this process.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lois, was very helpful in a chapter of my life that was perhaps brief but very intense. She provided plenty of information to help and a very safe space from the get go. I thank her a lot for helping me!

I worked with Lois for a year during the pandemic, she really helped me through some tough things and I was able to "graduate" and venture out on my own. I did well managing life with the skills and practices she helped me with. I am struggling a bit more these days and she is the first person I could think of that could help me again. Self work isn't ever finished, just the support we need and the amount we need can be less and can be more. Right now I need more and I am grateful to be able to work with Lois through it. She is truly amazing.

This was my first experience with therapy and Lois made it a tremendously positive one! Thank you Lois!!

It’s been invaluable to have Lois available each week to speak with and to text on a daily basis. When life gets stressful or confusing it’s great to have a neutral person in my life to listen and offer sound advice. She’s helped me through so many rough patches and help stabilize my ups and downs.

Reviewed July 2022

She is incredibly patient, kind and insightful. She is so calming and redirects my thoughts in such a positive, more realistic way of looking at things that occur in my life. Truly such a powerful tool she is modeling and teaching me to apply on my own, as well.

Lois has been so supportive and such a safe place for me, I’ve been working with her for a short time but her suggestions in new ways of thinking and reframing my mindset and situation have helped immensely and have propelled me forward in making good changes for my life quickly. I feel like I have a non biased safe person to express myself to who helps me think in a healthier way.

Lois is amazing. I used to not believe therapy would work for me, since I am not very good at expressing myself most of the time. Lois has helped see me through the toughest times of my life and I am deeply grateful to have her whenever I need her. She is prompt in her messages ,especially when I just need someone unbiased to talk to, or when I need advice. I do not know where I'd be without her today and all the help she has provided for me.

Reviewed June 2021

I have been working with Lois for about 10 months and she has helped me tremendously. Life has thrown me down paths and journeys that at times felt unbearable but she was there with tools, advice and a listening non judgemental ear. She has taught me skills to learn how to process all the feelings that go with life. She is the reason I have recommended BetterHelp to so many friends and family. I absolutely wouldn't be where I am today or have made the progess I have with her.

Lois is a gem! She is compassionate, present, warm and wise. I feel safe and comfortable sharing my internal world with her. There is never any judgement and she gives me the space I need to express myself and find my answers. If I am at a loss, she shows up with support and wisdom. I am grateful I was paired with her and I am grateful for how she embodies the work she is doing. It's powerful and transformative:)

I have only been working with Lois for a couple of weeks, but I find her to be a great listener as well as a great practical source of information. I feel that Lois has the tools to help me navigate the churning waters of my life right now. I wasn't sure how I would feel about Better help, as I have never worked on line with anyone. I find it a great way to work and feel that the quality of counselors are wonderful, (at least in my case) Highly recommend Lois, as well as Better help.
