About Lois

Lois Craig is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 12 years of experience in California. She works with adults who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and low self-esteem. Her approach aims to help people understand what is keeping them from feeling happier and more satisfied in daily life.

She listens for patterns rooted in past experiences, and helps clients notice how those patterns show up now. In sessions she guides people through steps to reduce overwhelm and build more steady responses to stress. She often uses body-focused techniques alongside other therapeutic work to help clients feel more grounded.

Lois has substantial experience supporting people dealing with panic attacks, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. She also helps clients facing workplace strain, relationship communication challenges, and caregiver stress. Common personal themes she addresses include abandonment, attachment concerns, control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Her style blends practical skill-building with careful attention to how experiences affect emotions and behavior. Clients can expect clear guidance, opportunities to practice new ways of coping, and help making changes that fit day-to-day life. She encourages small, manageable steps toward better self-esteem and steadier mood.

Lois offers therapy in English from California and does not work with international clients. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options by following the Start Therapy flow on the site.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online

Lois commonly combines somatic, or body-focused, methods with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Somatic work helps people notice physical reactions to stress and trauma and learn gentle ways to calm the body. This can be useful for panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and chronic anxiety.

She also integrates trauma-focused approaches that help people process past experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. That work aims to identify patterns that keep someone stuck and gradually build new ways of responding to triggers and difficult memories.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist works with each person to decide what feels most helpful, based on goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. Decisions about technique are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people choose appointments that better match their daily routine while working with a licensed professional in California.
