About Lily
Lily Divino meets people where they are and helps them manage overwhelming emotions. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - based in New York with 12 years of experience. Lily aims for straightforward, practical work so people feel less stuck and more capable of moving forward.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, life changes, and compassion fatigue. Lily also supports concerns such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how culture, identity, and life circumstances shape what a person is facing. Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions are conversational and focused on what helps day to day.
Lily uses evidence-based techniques alongside trauma-informed care and a relational family systems perspective to understand patterns and find workable steps. Her background includes years in healthcare and community settings where she saw how systems and burnout affect mental health. That experience shapes how she looks at stress and ongoing problems, and how she supports practical coping strategies and gradual change.
People who come to Lily often want a steady, thoughtful partner for hard moments. She works at the client's pace, helps set achievable goals, and emphasizes concrete tools for coping, managing feelings, and making decisions about the future.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Many of the methods Lily uses are straightforward to use in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life steps, which helps with anxiety, panic, and depression. Trauma-informed care means sessions pay attention to safety, pacing, and what a person has lived through so healing can move at a manageable speed.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lily works collaboratively to match methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts plans as things change. The first weeks often include trying practical tools and checking what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited transportation. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit regular sessions into life and keep steady progress over time.
