About Lois

Lois Craig is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why life feels out of balance. Lois focuses on helping people regain a sense of control and safety in their daily lives.

Lois uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that center on body-based approaches. She helps clients notice how past experiences show up in the body and in relationships. In sessions she guides people to identify patterns that keep them feeling anxious, down, or reactive.

Her background includes extensive work with anxiety, depression, panic, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and workplace difficulties. Lois supports people who struggle with guilt, control issues, social anxiety, and communication problems.

In the therapy room she aims for clear steps that people can use between sessions. Conversations are practical and paced to match each person's needs. The goal is to help clients make manageable changes that reduce daily distress and improve functioning.

Lois asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started. From there clients schedule sessions according to therapist availability and the subscription plan that applies to their sessions.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Lois draws on body-focused therapeutic methods and trauma-informed techniques to help people understand how past experiences affect their feelings and behavior. Body-based approaches encourage noticing physical sensations and using movement or breathing to reduce reactivity; they are often used for trauma, anxiety, and stress management. Trauma-focused methods target memories and reactions that maintain distress, and they can help people learn new ways to respond when upsetting memories arise.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lois collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying methods, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together so sessions stay useful and doable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people balancing caregiving, work, or medical appointments. A therapist can recommend which approaches translate best to the session format you choose and help plan practical steps for applying what you learn between meetings.
