How Lily’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the conversation and sets goals. This approach helps people who need a steady, listening presence while they sort through feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this often means practicing new ways of thinking, trying small behavior changes between meetings, and checking what worked in the next session. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit changes.

Motivational Interviewing is a short, practical method that helps people find their own reasons for change. It’s often used when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about steps like cutting back on substance use or changing a relationship pattern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lily will discuss options and try methods that fit a person’s goals and comfort level. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face interaction, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat and texting suit quick check-ins or shorter, frequent support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and help people keep momentum between meetings.
