How her approaches guide online therapy

Lillian uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach focuses on gentle questions, listening, and building motivation one step at a time. It can be helpful for people working through addictions, ambivalence about change, or low motivation.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on practical, short-term goal setting. Sessions using this approach look for small, achievable changes and what already works, then build on those successes to make progress toward larger goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lillian will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays useful and realistic.
