Welcome to therapy! My name is Lillian, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker in Texas. I received my master's degree in Social Work from the University of Texas. I have been working in the mental health field for about 5 years. I am excited that you have decided to take this step to embark on your journey to achieving your desired growth and transformation. Our sessions will be focused on your journey to possibilities and transformations; together we will work as a team to achieve these goals; and celebrate one new step, one new milestone, and continuous progress.
My approach
In my approach to providing therapy, some of my common theoretical approaches include Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)- to help change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving; Dialectical Behavioral therapy (DBT)- to help to manage and regulate emotions and many other modalities depending on the presenting problems.
My focus
I have years of experience working with young children, adolescents, and young adults. I've developed strategies that can help you (a) identify the source of your challenges and (b) create a treatment plan that leads to measurable progress.
My communication style
My communication style is relaxed and easy going... no pressure at all; with humor, empathy, compassion, and respect.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was as a peer counselor in school, or by being a trusted and loyal friend; I have always naturally wanted the best for people and helping them navigate challenges and ultimately become the best versions of themselves.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. We will start by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we will work together to set goals and track your progress.
My first session with you
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing and identify goals. Thereafter, we will create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
