About Lois
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with three years of clinical experience. Lois Durrah focuses on relationship concerns, self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and related life changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside person-centered practices to help people reframe thoughts and set practical goals.
Durrah describes work as collaborative and direct. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, then tests small changes that can change how they feel. Sessions emphasize clear steps, short-term goals, and skills people can use between meetings.
Before her counseling career, she spent over 30 years with a nonprofit serving people with disabilities. That experience shaped her focus on maximizing opportunities and looking past obstacles. It also informs how she supports caregivers and people managing long-term stress.
Durrah holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of South Carolina Spartanburg and earned two master’s degrees from Liberty University in professional counseling and human services-executive leadership. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina (LPC).
Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions tend to balance talking through current problems with concrete strategies to try. People who want clear steps, short-term goal work, and attention to thinking patterns often choose this style.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Lois works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term goals and small, concrete steps to build on what is already working in someone’s life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means checking how an approach feels in early sessions and adjusting goals and techniques together.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
