About Lillian

Lillian Ojetta Brown is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience in Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, and stress while offering support around identity and relationships. Her approach aims to make conversations feel straightforward and practical for everyday life.

She works with adults who face grief, low self-esteem, or changes in work and family roles. Lillian also addresses intimacy and relationship concerns, sleeping difficulties, and the fatigue that comes from caregiving or long-term stress. Traumatic brain injury is listed among her focus areas and she helps people navigate its emotional and practical impacts.

Her practice pays attention to the whole situation - mood, relationships, and daily routines. Sessions are goal-oriented and grounded in methods that have evidence behind them. Lillian uses clear language and step-by-step suggestions so people can try changes between meetings.

She brings three decades of hands-on experience to client challenges like chronic illness, caregiving strain, and major life transitions. Her work includes helping people cope with prejudice, identity-related stress, and isolation. She also supports those facing career decisions and questions about life purpose.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Many clients benefit from therapies that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical coping skills. Cognitive-based techniques help people notice thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and develop alternate, more balanced thinking. These approaches are useful for worry, depression, and stressful life changes.

Behavior-focused strategies emphasize practical steps such as sleep routines, activity scheduling, and gradual exposure to reduce avoidance. These techniques support recovery from low energy, sleep problems, and activity withdrawal that often accompany depression or post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan over time so it stays helpful and realistic.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Many people appreciate not needing to commute and being able to schedule workday or evening appointments more easily. If you plan to work across time zones or from another country, confirm scheduling details when you book. Also check which session formats are currently offered before your first appointment so you know what to expect.
