Lois Pasapane, LCMHC, LMHC

Lois Pasapane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC and LMHC, with 35 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, eating concerns, career problems, ADHD, and codependency.

She takes a person-centered approach that begins with a detailed intake. That intake covers personal and family history, current issues, and the client's strengths. From there she and the client design a practical plan that often includes clear behavioral steps and homework to practice between sessions.

Lois uses talk therapy alongside specific techniques such as hypnotherapy and tapping when appropriate. Hypnotherapy is offered as a focused tool after explaining the process and getting client agreement. She also incorporates role-play, positive reinforcement, and esteem-building exercises to help people practice new responses and build confidence.

Sessions are interactive and expect active participation. Clients can expect honest feedback, direct goal-setting, and practical strategies for handling everyday stressors and relationship patterns. The emphasis is on helping people notice unhelpful patterns, try different behaviors, and build skills that support better boundaries and self-management.

Her background includes teaching and supervising prospective counselors and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology earned in 1984. Over decades of practice she has worked with individual clients and groups, keeping a focus on practical steps people can use outside the session.
