About Lois
Lois Pasapane is a licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles with self-esteem and eating. Lois also supports those facing career changes, addiction concerns, ADHD, aging and caregiver stress.
Lois holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Nova Southeastern University and is licensed as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC in North Carolina and as an LMHC in Florida. She also has national certification as an NCC by the National Board for Certified Counselors. Her work draws on many methods, and she centers sessions on the client’s goals and strengths.
During the first meetings she gathers a clear history and identifies problems and resources. Together with the person seeking help, she builds a practical plan. That plan often includes specific behavioral steps, role-play, and homework to practice new skills between sessions. Clients are expected to take an active role in the work.
Her approach is person-centered and collaborative. Lois uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, EMDR for trauma work, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based techniques when appropriate. She also incorporates brief practices like Emotional Freedom Technique when agreed upon.
Lois aims to be straightforward and honest in sessions. She frames herself as a resource and support person who encourages people to take responsibility for choices. Prospective clients should select Start Therapy and complete the short matching questionnaire to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Lois uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as key parts of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them while focusing on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns and improve mood.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related concerns. EMDR involves guided memory processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and can be helpful when past events continue to affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. This collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss format preferences when you schedule so the choice fits your daily routine and therapeutic goals.
