Lois Plock, LCSW

She has worked in residential addiction treatment and Intensive Outpatient Programs, led support groups, taught life skills, and given community talks. Those roles gave her a clear view of how problems look in daily life and what practical steps can help. Her work combines straightforward feedback with a collaborative style.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and impulsive behavior. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and emotionally-focused ideas when helpful to strengthen values and connection. Lois has used a Christian counseling perspective with some clients and integrates faith when it fits a person’s goals.

She aims to be compassionate while also offering direct guidance that moves people forward. Practical tools, skills practice, and problem-solving are a regular part of sessions. People who want a clear plan and a therapist who will both support and challenge them may find her approach useful.

Sessions focus on specific concerns like substance use, codependency, communication problems, trauma, and managing stress and shame. Lois tailors her work to each person’s needs and values.
