About Lois
Lois Pratt is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Lois aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is unsure what to expect.
Lois believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She looks for strengths and small skills a person already has and uses those to build change.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what each person needs in the moment. Her approach mixes several methods based on what will help most for a concern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for handling strong emotions and reducing reactivity. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's goals and experience. Lois draws on ten years of experience in counseling work across Tennessee.
She aims to keep explanations clear and practical, using short, doable steps rather than long lists of techniques. That makes progress easier to track and use between sessions. People who are nervous about starting often find a simple first session helpful - talking about one or two problems and a plan for the next step.
Lois supports clients as they try new strategies and adjust the plan when needed.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Lois uses a mix of approaches that translate well to online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; online sessions can include homework and short practice tasks to use between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that people can learn and rehearse in real life, with the therapist coaching those skills during video or phone sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lois will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation, then adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps people find a practical way forward rather than sticking to a single technique.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful when visual cues help a conversation, phone works well for lower bandwidth or when you prefer not to be on camera, and text or live chat can be handy for quick check-ins or practicing brief skills. These options aim to make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy life.
