Lois Pratt, LPC - Therapist in Tennessee

About Lois

Lois Pratt is a licensed professional counselor working in Tennessee who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress and mood struggles. She meets people where they are and listens first. Her style centers on helping parents and caregivers talk through problems and find practical ways to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and cope with past trauma.

She uses straightforward, collaborative methods instead of jargon. Sessions often begin with understanding what matters most to the family and what each person is trying to protect or change.

Background and approach

Lois emphasizes strengths clients already have and builds on those skills during work together. Her approach draws from several well-established therapies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Lois also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and supporting each person without judgment. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work with relationship patterns and emotional bonding within families.

She blends these approaches to match what a family needs in the moment. With ten years of practice as an LPC, she aims to make change feel manageable. Parents will find clear steps, real skills to try at home, and steady support while they work toward calmer days and clearer communication.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and providing acceptance so clients can talk through what matters most. It helps people feel heard and supported while they work on parenting challenges and relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and daily routines. It is useful for reducing anxiety, easing low mood, and building predictable habits at home.

Lois treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with the client and family to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as needs change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options allow families to connect from home, fit sessions around busy schedules, and use short check-ins when full calls are difficult. The variety of formats makes it easier to practice skills between meetings and stay consistent with progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
