About Lois

Lois Plock brings a practical, experience-grounded perspective to therapy that resonates with people seeking help for anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on more than a decade in clinical work and a life path that began later in formal education, which she says helped shape a compassionate but straightforward style. Lois holds LCSW licensure and practices in Florida, offering care informed by years of work across residential addiction treatment, intensive outpatient programs, support groups, and life-skills teaching.

Her approach blends evidence-based methods with a collaborative stance, meeting each person where they are and tailoring tools to individual needs. Lois uses techniques from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies alongside mindfulness and acceptance-oriented strategies, and she integrates spiritual perspectives when relevant to a client.

Known for being both supportive and direct, she aims to help clients identify the barriers that cause distress and build practical skills to address them. Clients can expect a therapist who values clear goals, warmth, and accountability, and who has worked with issues including trauma, grief, low self-esteem, impulsivity, and substance use.

Her background in multiple care settings gives her a broad view of recovery and coping, which she applies to help clients move toward clearer purpose and healthier functioning.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Flexibility

Lois integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into online work in ways that emphasize practical skills and emotion regulation. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. DBT focuses on building skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for impulsivity, relationship strain, and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailor interventions from these evidence-based models so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and mobility. These formats allow consistent access to therapy from wherever a client is located in Florida and support ongoing skill practice between sessions, making it easier to maintain momentum while adapting to changing life demands.
