Background and approach
Communication difficulties, feelings of emptiness, and questions about life purpose and self-love are additional areas she addresses. Lillian draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, realistic goals and track progress.
Sessions emphasize clear next steps so people leave with things to try between meetings. Her style is warm and respectful. She aims to listen without judgment and to treat each person with dignity.
In sessions she works to create calm, practical plans that fit a client’s real life and routines. People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and steady support while they work through parenting stresses, mood concerns, or life transitions. She encourages clients to notice their strengths and to take manageable steps toward the changes they want.

How Lillian’s Approaches Work Online
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and boosts the motivation to try new behaviors. It uses respectful questions and reflection to help clients identify what matters most to them. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and on what is already working; sessions often produce a short list of things to try before the next meeting and focus on measurable progress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what helps you make progress. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best with personal needs and daily routines.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or mobility are limited, live chat or text messaging work for quick check-ins or short exchanges, and messaging can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to practice skills between meetings.
