How her approaches shape online therapy

Lillian uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach involves guided conversations that draw out a person’s values and goals, and it can help with addictions, motivation for treatment, or making life changes.

She also uses solution-focused therapy, which targets small, practical steps. Sessions using this method look for what is already working and build short-term goals to increase what helps in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lillian works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will check in and adapt the plan as progress is made or new issues come up.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that better fits a day. It can also let someone use strategies learned in session more quickly in their everyday routine. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and tasks to suit each person’s situation.
