About Lois

Lois Pratt is a Tennessee-licensed LPC with a decade of clinical experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger.

Background and approach

She approaches each person as the expert on their own life, helping them build on existing strengths while navigating difficult emotions and interactions. Lois emphasizes courage and collaboration in the early stages of care, guiding clients through the decision to seek change and toward more satisfying daily functioning.

Her practice draws on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally-focused strategies when relationships are a central concern. Across these approaches she aims to tailor interventions to what each person needs in the moment, combining practical tools with attuned support.

Lois works with English-speaking clients in Tennessee and adapts her style to meet individual goals and preferences as therapy unfolds.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Lois uses cognitive behavioral methods to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. She also practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and the client’s own goals as the guide for sessions. These approaches are aimed at practical symptom reduction and building a stronger sense of agency in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lois treats that as a collaborative process. She discusses options with each person, adjusts techniques based on how someone responds, and works together to set goals that feel meaningful and achievable. The plan evolves as needs and preferences become clearer over time.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients in Tennessee to access consistent care without traveling, and they make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of support.
