About Lois

Dr. Lois Winchell brings 23 years of clinical experience to people seeking help with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and LGBT concerns, trauma and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes clients' strengths and treats each person as the expert on their own life, aiming to support courageous steps toward greater fulfillment and well-being. Working from a collaborative stance, Dr.

Winchell listens for individual values, goals, and practical needs to shape treatment. Her Colorado license (CO Psychologist PSY.0001809) and long professional history inform a steady, experienced presence in work on grief, addiction, intimacy and self-esteem, as well as complex concerns such as bipolar disorder, co-morbidity, and attachment issues.

She also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and gender dysphoria when relevant. Dr.

Winchell offers sessions in English and provides a range of remote formats so clients can engage in ways that suit their schedules. She frames therapy as a partnership, helping clients identify strengths and strategies to manage life changes, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Winchell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One commonly used approach focuses on building coping skills and stress management strategies to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning; these practical tools help clients respond differently to overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Another frequently employed method centers on exploring attachment patterns and relational dynamics to improve communication, intimacy, and family interactions; this helps people understand how past experiences shape present relationships and develop healthier ways of connecting.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to identify their priorities, strengths, and preferences, then adjusts techniques as therapy progresses so the treatment fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or work. These formats allow clients to maintain continuity of care, try different session types to see what feels most effective, and engage in therapy in ways that match their daily life and commitments.
