Background and approach
Lillian listens closely to what matters most and helps people set small, realistic steps forward. Lillian often uses motivational interviewing to draw out motivation for change. She also uses solution-focused techniques to build on what already works.
Those approaches are helpful for shifting habits, dealing with anger, and improving communication. Her background includes long work in community mental health and social services. Over the years she has helped people find resources and practical supports tied to their goals.
That experience informs how she connects people to local services when needed. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable parts. Lillian helps with coping skills, mood management, and planning next steps.
She invites people to try approaches that make sense for their situation and adjust as they go.
How motivational and solution-focused work online
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It relies on open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation for steps like cutting back on substance use or trying a new coping habit. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes that produce quick wins. Sessions look for exceptions to a problem and build short-term plans to repeat what works.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Lillian will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and discuss which methods fit best. She adjusts plans over time so the approach stays useful as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, journaling between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it easier to fit care into work, family, or other routines while using the chosen therapeutic approach.
