About Lois
Lois Plock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience practicing in Florida. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses ADHD, stress, and relationship difficulties and helps with issues tied to abandonment, codependency, and communication problems.
Lois brings practical life experience into sessions and describes therapy as a collaborative effort. She draws on client-centered principles to listen and follow what matters most to each person. She blends that with structured tools when needed, for clearer thinking and behavior change.
Her work has included addictions residential treatment, intensive outpatient programming, support group facilitation, and life-skills teaching. Those roles shaped how she approaches problems like substance use, relapse triggers, and co-occurring conditions. Lois also integrates discussions about spiritual beliefs when clients identify that as important to them.
In sessions she may use Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help name and work with strong emotions and relationship patterns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to help people practice new coping skills and change unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques are part of her toolbox when clients want to clarify values and manage distress.
People can expect straightforward, direct feedback alongside supportive listening. She encourages practical steps between sessions and attention to small changes that add up.

How her approaches translate to online work
Lois commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions and recurring interaction patterns. EFT aims to shift how emotions are experienced and how people respond in close connections, which can help when feelings are hard to put into words.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action despite painful thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors; it is practical for anxiety, depression and addiction-related patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. That collaborative discussion often happens in early sessions and continues as needs change.
