About Lily

Lily Divino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 12 years of experience. She works with teens, young adults, and adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and compassion fatigue. Lily communicates plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use in day-to-day life.

She uses trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices to guide sessions. Lily often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people change unhelpful thinking and build skills for managing emotions. She also draws on strengths-based ideas and a relational, family systems perspective to look at how relationships and background shape current struggles.

Lily pays attention to culture and identity and aims to be responsive to differences in background and experience. She has worked in healthcare and community settings, which informs how she recognizes the impact of systems, burnout, and chronic stress on mental health. That background shapes practical strategies she offers for coping and pacing work on difficult issues.

In sessions she helps people identify small, achievable steps and develop clearer goals. When trauma or sexual violence are part of the history, she approaches the work with methods suited to processing and safety. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, disability, and grief from disaster or loss.

To begin, people select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Many of the techniques Lily uses are straightforward to adapt to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and building coping skills; it often involves short exercises and homework that translate well to video or phone check-ins. Motivational Interviewing centers on exploring readiness for change and strengthening personal motivation through guided conversation, which fits a conversational online format.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work together. Lily will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on current concerns, goals, and what feels doable. The plan can be adjusted as sessions progress and new needs emerge.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day, reduce travel time, and keep regular momentum between appointments. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction while others choose audio for shorter check-ins or when camera use feels like too much. Discussing practical preferences helps shape how sessions will fit everyday life.
