About Lily
Lily Divino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience based in New York. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. Lily aims to create a calm, respectful space where concerns can be named and practical steps can follow.
Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes. Lily uses trauma-informed care and evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide each conversation in ways that make sense to the person in the room.
Background and approach
She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and habits that keep distress going. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Lily also uses a strengths-based stance to highlight resilience and skills clients already have.
Lily brings experience from healthcare and community settings, where she saw how systems and life circumstances shape stress and burnout. That background informs how she helps people manage compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and work-related stress. She is attentive to cultural identity, belonging, and the impact of family of origin issues.
Lily addresses trauma, including sexual assault and post-traumatic stress, and supports people coping with panic, chronic pain, and grief-related struggles. Her approach is steady and paced to each person’s needs. Clients work by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, whichever fits their schedule and communication style.
Lily helps people set realistic next steps and track progress over time.
Online approaches that help with anxiety and trauma
Lily often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach breaks problems into smaller parts so practical steps can be tried between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want change but feel stuck or unsure. This method focuses on clarifying values and building motivation in small, doable ways.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lily collaborates with each person to choose or adapt techniques based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people keep face-to-face interaction while fitting sessions around work or family time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who prefer typing or want support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to continue work from different locations and to pick the communication style that fits each person best.
