Approaches that guide online work

Lillian uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach involves clear, open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for concrete steps. It can be useful for habits, addictions, and decisions about work or relationships.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which narrows attention to small, practical changes that move someone toward their goals. Sessions often identify what is already working and then build brief plans to expand those successes.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lillian works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She treats the choice as collaborative and will adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before you book. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy day. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or family commitments.
