Her tone is warm and nonjudgmental, and she invites people to try therapy even when asking for help feels hard.

Background and approach
She helps people build coping skills that suit their life and values. Sessions aim to reduce barriers and strengthen what already works for each person. Lila has supported people facing serious health challenges and those who care for them.
That includes caregivers, family members, and survivors navigating grief or hospice and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses issues like compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and codependency. Her approach combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices.
She uses motivational interviewing to help clients find their own reasons to change and narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories. These methods are used together to match each person’s needs. Lila offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for people located in Pennsylvania.
She works in English and holds a Pennsylvania LPC credential. The goal in her work is steady progress toward clear, personally meaningful goals.
Approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's lead to build trust and move toward goals. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through problems and find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, change unhelpful patterns, and improve sleep or mood in everyday life.
Mindfulness therapy brings simple awareness practices into sessions to reduce stress and increase focus. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes by teaching attention skills and gentle acceptance.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their goals, values, and preferences. Together they will adjust techniques as progress is made to create a plan that feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent even with a busy schedule.
