About Lois
Lois Pasapane brings over three decades of clinical experience to her counseling work, focusing on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, career questions, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She also attends to areas like aging and geriatric issues, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency. Licensed in North Carolina as an LCMHC and also holding a Florida LMHC credential, she combines long-standing practice with a broad set of therapeutic tools.
Her style emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered relationship in which the client’s goals guide treatment. After a thorough intake that explores personal and family history, strengths, and presenting problems, she and the client co-create a practical plan that often includes behavioral tasks and homework.
Lois integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to address symptoms and build coping skills. She frames herself as a resource and support, encouraging active client participation, role-play, esteem-building exercises, and concrete strategies to foster lasting change.
Trained to work with individuals and groups and experienced in teaching and supervision, she brings a pragmatic, respectful manner to therapy and seeks to empower clients as they pursue their goals.
Approaches for Online Healing and Skill Building
Lois uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical, goal-oriented strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on changing thought-behavior cycles through skill practice and targeted exercises that translate well to online formats.She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify values and build psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action. ACT can aid clients facing life transitions, chronic stress, or persistent negative thoughts by teaching acceptance-based skills alongside behavior change.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each person to assess needs, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan over time so it aligns with goals and preferences rather than assuming one path suits everyone.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on skills and homework assignments, access care from home, and adapt appointment types as life circumstances change.
