Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I have a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Nova Southeastern University in 1984. I have been a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida for over 25 years and am currently licensed as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor(LCMHC) in North Carolina. I am also a national certified counselor (NCC) by the National Board for Certified Counselors .I am trained to work with individuals and groups, as well as teaching and supervising perspective counselors at Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth, Florida
Theoretical Orientation:
Counseling is a special type of relationship which demands that the counselor always consider the well-being of the client. Although, I have an eclectic point of view, my theoretical orientation is person-centered. I respect and value the goals of the client as the best path toward self-growth and personal fulfillment, so after a detailed intake session which includes family and personal history, identification of the issues, and importantly, client strengths as well as weaknesses, the client and myself, together, design a treatment plan which usually includes some behavioral contracts and homework assignments. I do not believe that I hold the answers to solve a client’s problems, but rather see my role as a resource and support person whose job is to empower clients to take personal responsibility for their own choices. I choose to engage the client in building resources through positive reinforcement, role-play, and esteem-building exercises. In addition to talk therapy, I expect the client to be an active participant in the therapeutic process.
Treatment Options:
I am also a Certified Heart-Centered Hypnotherapist and have found that hypnotherapy is one of the most effective treatment modalities used, producing lasting results while being cost effective because less sessions are usually required. I also employ Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, also known as Tapping) as a useful practice in helping to relieve anxiety or change undesired behaviors. These techniques are only utilized after a full exploration of client needs and a thorough explanation of the processes and an agreement signed by the client.
I believe in providing a safe environment that is non-judgemental and allows for feedback by the client to help focus the course of therapy, and if you choose to work with me, I will do my best to be honest and authentic in pursuit of your goals, and would be honored to be a part your journey.

Lois Pasapane earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Nova Southeastern University in 1984 and brings 35 years of clinical experience to her practice. She has been a licensed mental health counselor in Florida for more than 25 years and now holds licensure in North Carolina as a clinical mental health counselor. She is also nationally certified through the National Board for Certified Counselors.
Lois works with individuals and groups and has experience teaching and supervising prospective counselors at Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth, Florida. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating disorders, career difficulties, and ADHD.
Her approach is primarily person-centered within a flexible, eclectic framework. After a thorough intake that reviews family and personal history, identifies presenting issues, and highlights client strengths, she collaborates with each client to design a personalized treatment plan. That plan often includes behavioral agreements and homework assignments, and Lois emphasizes the client’s active participation in the therapeutic process rather than presenting herself as the sole source of answers.
Lois uses techniques that build skills and confidence – such as role-play, positive reinforcement, and esteem-building exercises – alongside traditional talk therapy. She is a Certified Heart-Centered Hypnotherapist and finds hypnotherapy to be an efficient modality that can produce lasting results with fewer sessions. She also incorporates Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping) as a tool to help reduce anxiety and change unhelpful behaviors; these methods are introduced only after a full exploration of client needs and with a clear explanation and signed agreement. Lois strives to provide a nonjudgmental, safe environment and aims to be honest and authentic while supporting clients toward their goals.
