About Lily

Lily Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Many come seeking direction after shifts in work, relationships, or health and want practical steps forward.

Lily uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels stuck. She listens for patterns in behavior and relationships, then helps people test small changes. Sessions focus on concrete goals such as managing anxiety, coping with grief, addressing substance use, or exploring life purpose.

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she centers the person’s experience while also using skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used to build momentum and clarify next steps.

When trauma is part of the story, Lily draws on trauma-focused methods that focus on safety and gradual processing. She pays close attention to how past hurt shows up in current relationships, boundaries, and self-image. Practical coping skills are taught alongside processing difficult memories.

Clients can expect clear, goal-oriented sessions that emphasize action and reflection. Lily asks about daily routines, relationships, and values to shape focused work. People who want to figure out what comes next, reduce distress, or rebuild after loss often find this approach useful.

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, then reflects and clarifies to help find practical next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive reactions.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It can be useful for addiction-related concerns, career shifts, or building momentum toward a new direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lily will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the approach can shift when needed.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten the time needed to attend, and allow work between sessions to be integrated into daily life. They can also allow a quieter experience when sound-only conversations are preferred or lower bandwidth is needed.
