About Lois
Lois Pasapane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 35 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem. She also helps with addictions, eating issues, career changes, ADHD, and caregiver or aging-related stresses. Lois uses a direct, respectful style and encourages active participation from the person seeking help.
Her meetings begin with a careful intake that covers personal and family history, current concerns, and individual strengths.
Background and approach
From there she and the client design a plan together that often includes specific behavioral steps and homework. She prefers a person-centered stance that treats the client’s goals as the guiding focus for therapy. Lois draws on a mix of approaches to meet real-life needs.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to meaningful action. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her toolkit for addressing trauma and painful memories.
In addition to talk therapy, Lois offers hypnotherapy and has used techniques like Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) as adjuncts when appropriate. These approaches are introduced only after discussion and agreement about how they will be used. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and is licensed as an LCMHC in North Carolina and as an LMHC in Florida.
Lois frames her role as a resource and coach, aiming to build coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and support clients as they make changes.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
The therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include specific exercises and homework that transfer easily to online formats and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action despite difficult feelings. ACT is useful when someone wants to live in line with their priorities while managing emotional pain.
EMDR is part of her clinical toolkit for addressing troubling memories and trauma. In online sessions EMDR techniques can be adapted into guided procedures that pair discussion with bilateral stimulation methods agreed on in session.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person. Clients and the therapist check in together and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick verbal check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people receive help without travel.
