Lois Plock, LCSW

Lois Plock is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - with 11 years of experience. She practices in Florida and has also held licensure in North Carolina. She works with adults facing addiction, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, trauma, intimacy questions, depression, and ADHD.

Lois draws on life experience and years in mental health to guide practical, straightforward work. She has worked in residential addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs. She has led support groups, taught life skills, and given talks that address real-world problems people face when coping with guilt, shame, or loss.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She blends several evidence-based methods so clients can try different tools and see what helps. That can mean practicing new ways to notice thoughts, learning skills to manage intense emotions, or identifying values that matter most.

Lois has used a Christian counseling frame with some clients and pairs that perspective with approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational methods. Expect practical exercises and plain conversation rather than jargon.

Sessions focus on clear goals clients bring - like setting boundaries, reducing urges that lead to relapse, or rebuilding confidence after a relationship ends. Lois aims to help people learn concrete skills they can use between sessions. She notes how past family patterns and codependency issues often shape current choices and works to make those patterns easier to recognize and change.
