About Lillian
Lillian Ojetta Brown is a Licensed Master Social Worker with 30 years of experience. She offers a calm, steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. Parents who are juggling work, childcare, and relationship strain can expect practical support and clear conversation.
She focuses on helping people manage everyday pressures and big life changes. Sessions look at coping strategies, sleep and energy routines, and ways to rebuild self-esteem.
Background and approach
Lillian also addresses career stress, intimacy-related issues, and boundaries that affect daily life. Her background spans a wide range of concerns including compassion fatigue, ADHD, chronic illness, and caregiver strain. That experience informs how she helps people set realistic goals and try small changes that feel doable.
She pays attention to how family of origin and communication patterns shape current problems. Lillian offers support around sexuality, prejudice and discrimination, and the emotional impact of living with HIV or traumatic brain injury. She uses straightforward talk and practical exercises rather than jargon.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Sessions are offered in English and she sees people across Michigan and internationally by remote formats. Lillian works with clients who want help finding purpose, healing from loss, or building steadier day-to-day routines.
Her approach is hands-on and aimed at usable, real-world steps.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and emotional processing. One approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, activity scheduling, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes processing grief and loss through structured conversations and paced emotional work, helping people make sense of difficult feelings and find ways to remember and move forward.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and daily demands, then try methods that fit those needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in or fit therapy into a work break. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and get shorter, focused support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when schedules are busy or travel is required.
