About Lillian

Lillian Ojetta Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 30 years of experience. She centers her work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and creates an affirming, compassionate space for people navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and LGBTQ+ related concerns.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes understanding each person’s unique history and current challenges while collaboratively exploring practical steps toward improved wellbeing.

Over three decades in practice have exposed her to a wide range of life transitions and complex situations, including grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career shifts, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and concerns such as ADHD and compassion fatigue.

She also addresses issues related to aging and geriatric care, family of origin dynamics, communication problems, trauma and post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and life purpose. Lillian combines clinical judgment with warmth to help clients identify strengths, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Lillian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work, focusing on approaches that help people manage emotions, rebuild routines, and develop coping skills. One common method she draws on helps clients learn practical strategies for reducing anxiety and improving sleep through structured skill practice and behavioral experiments. Another approach emphasizes exploring beliefs and relationship patterns to address depression, self-esteem, communication problems, and intimacy-related concerns by helping clients test new ways of relating and thinking.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adapts interventions to fit the client’s needs and life circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which support flexible scheduling and access for people in different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, balance therapy with work or caregiving responsibilities, and try shorter or more frequent check-ins when beneficial.
