Lois Pasapane, LCMHC, LMHC

Lois Pasapane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 35 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, career stress, and ADHD. She also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency.

Lois trained in counseling psychology and holds LCMHC and LMHC credentials. She approaches therapy from a person-centered viewpoint, treating each person as the expert on their own life. Early sessions gather personal and family history and identify strengths and challenges. From there she and the client build a plan that often includes homework and behavioral steps.

Her sessions combine talking with active exercises like role-play, positive reinforcement, and esteem-building practices. She also uses hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique when appropriate, after explaining these options and getting consent. Clients are expected to participate actively between sessions to reinforce changes.

Lois emphasizes practical tools and real-life skills. She supports clients as they try new behaviors, make different choices, and recover from difficult experiences. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, with attention to what each person wants to achieve.

With a long history of teaching and supervising counselors, she brings broad perspective to clinical work. People who prefer a collaborative, strengths-based approach may find her method helpful for navigating life transitions and healing from past hurts.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact; it is commonly applied when trauma and abuse are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and help clients choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress and comfort evolve.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are provided, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online care can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, and make attending sessions from different locations more practical. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques for remote sessions, using exercises, homework, and guided processing to support progress.
