Lois Craig

Lois Craig is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life changes. Lois aims to help people untangle difficult experiences and move toward clearer choices and steadier moods.

Lois pays attention to how past hurts affect present relationships and day-to-day life. She helps clients identify patterns such as attachment concerns, abandonment fears, control struggles, and guilt that get in the way of feeling grounded. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, workplace strain, panic symptoms, and social anxiety.

Her work often includes body-focused methods and trauma-focused interventions to help people notice how their bodies hold stress and memories. She uses practical steps to reduce symptoms and to build better coping habits for everyday life. Sessions are aimed at helping people make sense of reactions and practice different ways of responding.

Lois brings direct, calm guidance and an emphasis on pacing the work so clients feel able to try new ways of coping. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where small changes add up over time. She also has experience helping people with mood disorders, obsessive thoughts, dissociative experiences, and post-traumatic stress.

Approaches for trauma and everyday stress online

Lois most often draws on trauma-focused interventions that help people process upsetting memories and reduce symptoms that come from past events. These approaches focus on breaking down overwhelming experiences into manageable parts so people can face them without becoming flooded.

She also uses body-centered or somatic techniques to help people tune into physical signals such as tension, numbness, or racing sensations. That work aims to link bodily experience with thoughts and feelings so clients can learn new ways to calm and regulate themselves in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lois will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their history, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and methods as needed so people feel steady while they try new skills.

Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed here. Many people find online therapy helps them fit sessions into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight or reduce the need for being on camera for an entire session.
