About Lois
Lois Plock is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience, licensed in North Carolina and Florida. She works with adults on issues such as addictions, relationship struggles, grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses family of origin issues and related patterns adults notice from their upbringing.
Lois draws on life experience alongside professional training. Early roles in residential addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs gave her hands-on exposure to a range of people and settings. She has run support groups, taught life skills, and done public speaking as part of that work.
Her clinical style is collaborative and direct. She combines client-centered listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and acceptance-oriented ideas also appear in sessions when they fit a person's goals.
Lois has worked in faith-informed settings and integrates clients' spiritual perspectives when relevant. She helps people talk through guilt, shame, purpose concerns, and the behavior patterns that come from early family roles. Sessions focus on observable changes in thinking and behavior as well as the feelings behind them.
Clients can expect clear, goal-focused conversations about habits, relationship patterns, boundary-setting, and coping skills. Lois aims to help adults recognize how their family of origin influences current choices and to develop concrete steps toward different responses.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lois commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people notice thoughts and commit to values-based action, which can ease stuck patterns from family of origin issues. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, depression, and impulse-related problems.She also brings elements of Client-Centered Therapy into sessions by listening closely and checking in about what matters most to the person. Deciding which methods to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit the person's needs.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the original biography did not list formats. In general, online work can help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it easier to continue weekly skill practice between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and client-centered techniques to online conversations so people can work on family of origin patterns from wherever is most practical for them.
