More about Lily

12 years' experience
Female
LCSW

Hi, I’m Lily. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with over 12 years of experience supporting teens, young adults, and adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and emotional challenges.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I draw from trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based approaches, and a relational, family systems perspective.

I bring a culturally responsive lens to my work, including supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds navigating identity, culture, and belonging. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck, or going through a transition, we’ll work together at your pace, starting from where you are.

I’ve spent much of my career working in healthcare and community settings, and I’m especially mindful of how stress, burnout, systems, and life circumstances can shape mental health. I have experience supporting individuals, families, and groups navigating trauma, including sexual violence, relationship challenges, compassion fatigue, and complex life stressors.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, supportive partner to help you make sense of things and find a way forward, I’m here to help.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
