About Lois

Lois Pasapane brings 35 years of counseling experience to her practice, blending a person-centered philosophy with practical therapeutic tools.

Background and approach

She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating issues, career challenges, and ADHD, along with related areas such as aging and geriatric issues, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency.

Lois draws on formal training that began with a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Nova Southeastern University in 1984 and spans decades of clinical work and supervision. Her style emphasizes collaboration and client strengths: after a comprehensive intake that reviews personal and family history, she and the client design a treatment plan tailored to specific goals.

Interventions often include behavioral contracts, homework, role-play, and esteem-building exercises, and the therapist frames her role as a resource to empower clients rather than to provide all the answers. Lois also integrates specialized methods such as hypnotherapy and EMDR when appropriate, explaining each option thoroughly before use and inviting client feedback throughout the process.

Evidence-based Approaches Applied in Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and life changes to create a more meaningful direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and homework, which is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and many stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with the processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact, and it can be offered when trauma history is a focal area.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review history, current challenges, and treatment goals and suggest methods that fit the client’s preferences and needs, adjusting the plan as progress and feedback guide the work together.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to maintain therapy around busy schedules and geographic constraints. These options allow for continuity of care, flexible scheduling, and the ability to use techniques such as structured CBT exercises, guided ACT practices, or EMDR-informed processing adapted for remote formats, all overseen by licensed professionals to align methods with each client’s goals.
