About Lois
California LPCC with 12 years of experience, Lois Craig works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She focuses on helping people understand their experiences and make practical changes that reduce distress and improve everyday functioning.
Lois helps people sort through what feels stuck. She listens for patterns that affect mood, behavior, and relationships. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and mentions somatic methods to help clients notice how the body holds stress and trauma.
Her work often addresses panic, mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people facing abandonment or attachment concerns, caregiver stress, workplace problems, and issues like guilt, shame, or control struggles. Sessions focus on identifying what’s getting in the way and planning steps to change it.
Lois describes practical, hands-on approaches in sessions. She guides clients through exercises and conversations that build awareness and skills. When trauma is part of the picture, she combines body-centered techniques with talk-based work to help people reduce reactivity and process difficult memories.
Clients should expect straightforward discussion about current problems, clear goals, and follow-up between sessions as needed. She works in English and practices in California as an LPCC.

How evidence-based approaches are used in remote sessions
Lois describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques and somatic methods to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body. Somatic methods involve simple body awareness and grounding exercises to reduce intense physical reactions and help people stay present during difficult memories. These techniques can help with panic, post-traumatic stress, and high arousal states.She also uses structured, evidence-informed talk work to identify patterns in thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety or low mood. That approach focuses on clear goals, step-by-step skill building, and brief experiments clients can try between sessions to test changes in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort. Together they review what helps and adjust methods over time to match progress and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals adapt exercises for whatever session format is chosen so people can practice skills and track changes between appointments.
