About Lois
Lois Plock is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She draws on 11 years of experience and a straightforward, compassionate style. Lois aims to make conversations feel calm and focused so people can take practical steps forward.
Lois began her career after returning to education as an adult. That life experience shaped how she listens and how she works. She has held roles across mental health settings, including residential addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs.
Background and approach
Those positions gave her experience running support groups and teaching life skills. Her practice blends several evidence-based approaches. Lois uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feeling patterns in close relationships.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior strategies to build emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas help people notice emotions without getting lost in them. Lois describes herself as compassionate and direct.
She prefers a collaborative process where goals and steps are set together. In sessions she helps clients name barriers, try new coping skills, and practice different ways of relating to themselves and others. Lois works from a variety of perspectives, including faith-informed care when clients request it.
She sees clients in Florida and brings practical experience with substance-use treatment, co-occurring conditions, codependency, and first responder stress. Sessions are offered in English and tailored to each person's needs.

Online support
How emotional and acceptance-based methods work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions that shape their relationships and reactions. Online EFT sessions can help identify patterns of feeling and practice new ways of responding to stress and closeness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and choosing values-based actions instead of getting stuck on unhelpful thinking. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles and translates well to talk or text work.Lois approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, experiment with different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which tools and exercises to use and how to pace progress.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, writing through difficult moments, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, quicker access from different locations within Florida, and multiple ways to practice new skills outside sessions.
