Lois Plock, LCSW

Lois Plock is an LCSW licensed in North Carolina and Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, health, or life roles. Common concerns she addresses include addictions, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and ADHD.

Lois draws on life experience alongside formal training. She has worked in residential addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs. She has facilitated support groups, taught life skills, and given talks related to recovery and coping strategies. Those roles shaped a practical view of everyday challenges and what helps people manage them.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior elements, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills practice, and honest conversation about barriers like guilt, shame, impulsivity, or co-occurring problems.

She has also worked from a Christian counseling perspective with people dealing with purpose, forgiveness, and spiritual questions. That experience informs how she addresses values and meaning when those topics matter to a client. Lois aims to be supportive while offering direct feedback and structure.

People who come to her often want practical steps and skills to reduce stress, manage cravings, improve communication, or move through grief. She helps people identify small changes that fit into everyday life and follow up on progress in later sessions.
