About Lois
Lois Plock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina and Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing addictions, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, depression, and ADHD. She also focuses on related problems such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and substance misuse.
Lois began her career after returning to education as an adult. That life experience shapes how she understands struggle and recovery. She has held roles across mental health care settings, including residential addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs. She has led support groups, taught life skills, and given talks in clinical and community settings.
Her practice draws on multiple evidence-based methods. Lois uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address patterns of thought and behavior. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and motivational techniques to help people clarify values and build practical coping skills.
Lois reports integrating Christian counseling perspectives when relevant to a client’s goals and worldview. She describes her style as collaborative, direct, and supportive. Sessions focus on identifying barriers, developing concrete strategies, and practicing skills that fit daily life.
People who want a practical, experience-informed clinician often choose her for issues tied to addiction, trauma, relationship struggles, and mood concerns. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take action toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and problems that persist because of unhelpful avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or impulsive acts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers structured skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive behavior, which can be helpful for self-harm risk, addiction-related acting out, or strong mood swings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and daily life demands and then suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other routines. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, sessions without video when bandwidth is limited, or scheduling that avoids travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or DBT exercises for remote sessions so the work focuses on skills and behavioral change rather than format.
