About Lois
Lois Durrah is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused, person-centered work to help clients shift unhelpful patterns and pursue clearer goals.
Background and approach
She draws on three years of direct counseling experience alongside extensive nonprofit work spanning over three decades to inform a practical, strengths-based approach. Lois emphasizes helping people reconsider how they think, speak, and live so they can move toward more meaningful, purposeful lives.
Her practice focuses on relationship concerns, self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related struggles, depression, and coping with significant life changes. She also offers coaching around caregiver stress and self-love.
Lois aims to create a warm, encouraging atmosphere where clients can process emotions, build coping strategies, and pursue measurable progress while she walks alongside them through transitions and challenges.
Online approaches that focus on practical change
Lois often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. She pairs this with solution-focused therapy, which emphasizes setting clear, achievable goals and building on existing strengths to create forward momentum.Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Lois works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs. She encourages an open conversation about what feels most helpful and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds, ensuring the therapeutic plan evolves with the client's priorities.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions, and they support ongoing access to coaching and therapeutic work from wherever clients are located in South Carolina.
