01About Lois
Lois Lifto is a Licensed Professional Counselor who draws on 15 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and ADHD. She writes and talks in straightforward ways so people can understand next steps. Lois aims to make the first step feel doable for someone who is worried or unsure.
She works with each person to shape a plan that fits their life and goals.
Background and approach
That plan may include talking about past experiences, learning new coping skills, or changing day-to-day habits. Lois pays attention to sensitivity and respect while keeping conversations focused and practical. Her background includes long-term work with people who identify on the autism spectrum and those facing substance use challenges.
She also helps people who are dealing with relationship wounds, abandonment concerns, and family of origin issues. Lois uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to the needs presented in sessions. Lois brings an understanding approach when trauma or dissociation is involved, and she helps clients address control issues or communication problems that get in the way of daily life.
She also supports people facing medical stressors such as cancer and aging-related concerns. The work typically moves at the client’s pace. Lois focuses on clear goals, small steps, and tools that can be practiced between appointments.
She offers sessions in English and works from Texas.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Lois uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to remote sessions. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills for anxiety and stress - it teaches step-by-step strategies for calming the body, managing worry, and approaching difficult tasks. Another approach addresses addictive behaviors and relapse triggers by identifying patterns, creating safety plans, and practicing alternative responses in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which techniques to try first. Progress is monitored together and adjustments are made when needed so the work stays relevant to your life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you see facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help fit care into workdays, travel, or busy home routines.
