About Lois
Dr. Lois Winchell is a Colorado psychologist (CO Psychologist PSY.0001809) with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ-related concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Her first priority is helping clients feel understood and able to talk about what matters to them.
She views clients as experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on during sessions. Conversations focus on practical steps a person can try between appointments. That might include trying a small change in behavior, practicing how to handle a difficult conversation, or noticing patterns that keep problems going.
Dr. Winchell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, coping with life changes, and grief as well as longer-standing issues like depression and bipolar concerns. Sessions often combine problem-solving with chances to reflect on emotions and relationships. She pays attention to how past experiences and attachment can affect current behavior and closeness with others.
People reach out for help with addictions, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and intimacy-related issues. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, first responder concerns, and gender dysphoria. These topics are addressed through clear goals and stepwise work.
Dr. Winchell offers therapy in English and practices in Colorado. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin. Appointments use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Dr. Winchell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change and emotional understanding. Behavioral techniques involve trying specific actions between sessions to reduce anxiety or build new routines. These approaches are useful for stress, social discomfort, and coping with life changes.She also draws on methods that examine how past relationships shape present reactions. This helps when grief, attachment issues, or relationship problems are getting in the way of daily life. These approaches aim to identify patterns and practice different ways of responding in real situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning includes checking progress and adjusting methods based on what helps most.
