About Lowell

Lowell Wallace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. He uses a client-centered style that treats people as the experts on their own lives. Sessions concentrate on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings.

His tone is direct and supportive, aimed at parents and caregivers who need usable help fast. Lowell has 12 years of experience and he trained in social work with a master of science degree.

Background and approach

He earned his LCSW in 2017 and practices in Mississippi. He has particular experience with addiction and co-occurring issues, mood and anxiety conditions, relationship and family conflict, trauma, and ADHD. In sessions Lowell draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

He also uses motivational interviewing to build motivation for change, and solution-focused techniques to set small reachable steps. These methods are explained plainly and applied to everyday problems like parenting strain, grief, stress, and anger. People can expect collaborative conversations that focus on strengths and concrete options.

Lowell emphasizes practical tools and small experiments that are realistic for busy lives. He aims to help clients notice progress and build confidence over time. Therapy topics he frequently addresses include depression, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and substance problems.

Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit a client’s schedule through online formats and phone work.

Practical approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy means Lowell focuses on what matters most to the person in front of him and follows their lead. This approach helps clarify goals and build on strengths so progress feels relevant to everyday life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that get in the way of parenting or day-to-day functioning.

Lowell treats choosing a method as a team decision. He will talk with each client about what feels workable and tailor sessions around goals, preferences, and how someone responds to different techniques. That collaborative planning continues over time so the approach can shift if needed.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around family routines, work, and caregiving responsibilities. They also let clients try short check-ins, longer weekly sessions, or written notes between meetings to keep momentum going.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
