Background and approach

With 23 years of experience, Lilia draws on a broad set of skills learned in community and clinical settings. She values diversity and respects differences in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, and disability. That respect shapes how she works with people from varied backgrounds.

Her approach blends straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. She also uses solution-focused and motivational interviewing strategies when they fit a person’s goals. The focus is on small, achievable changes that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

People who contact Lilia can expect a calm and practical therapist who helps them clarify the next steps. She guides people through relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, and other concerns. Sessions aim to leave people with concrete tools they can use between meetings.

Approach-driven online therapy to manage anxiety and stress

Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing the person first and responding to their needs. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting concerns and helping set goals that feel meaningful. This approach works well for people who want respectful, nonjudgmental support while they figure out next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep anxiety and low mood going. Sessions include practical exercises and skill practice that people can use between meetings to reduce worry and improve sleep or coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust over time. Clients and the therapist plan goals and try techniques collaboratively rather than sticking to a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or journaling-style exchanges. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
