About Lillian
Lillian Cunningham is a licensed mental health counselor with thirty years of experience supporting people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and related concerns. She helps clients feel heard and builds practical plans that fit their goals. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelming moments and restore day-to-day functioning.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Lillian listens first, then suggests tools people can try between meetings. She emphasizes real-world steps like reworking unhelpful thoughts, practicing present-moment awareness, and using structured exercises to manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience as a clinician and as a professor of psychology. That mix means she combines clinical know-how with clear explanations about why certain methods are used. She draws on several well-known approaches and adapts them to what each person needs.
Lillian often integrates evidence-based techniques such as cognitive methods for changing thinking patterns and mindfulness-based strategies to reduce reactivity. She also uses trauma-focused work when past events continue to cause distress, matching tactics to the pace each person prefers. Sessions are offered through a variety of remote formats so people can pick what fits their life.
Lillian aims to make therapy practical and usable, with tools that help outside of sessions as well.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety or stress keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety and mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of painful memories and the reactions they trigger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, then suggest options. Decisions about which methods to try are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the process, while phone sessions may work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care when in-person visits are not practical.
