Evidence-based techniques and online therapy options
Lois integrates several evidence-based techniques into her work. One approach is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, which offers a structured way to address distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life. It is commonly used when trauma symptoms are part of the concern.She also uses somatic interventions that focus on body sensations and physical responses to stress. These methods help people notice and change automatic reactions like rapid breathing or muscle tension that often accompany anxiety or panic attacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lois collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and techniques as progress is made so the work stays useful and manageable.
The biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats may work better for shorter check-ins or when camera use is difficult, while others support longer, more interactive sessions. Discussing preferences ahead of time helps shape a plan that fits day-to-day routines.
