How Lillian’s Approaches Work Online

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation when someone feels stuck, which can help with addictions, procrastination, or readiness for change.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often identify what is already working and then expand those patterns, which suits concerns like stress, anxiety, communication problems, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan over time if necessary.

Online sessions can be held by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
