Getting to know Lillian Vai
Hi there, I'm Lillian!
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience. I love what I do and am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's personal challenges. I work with clients to identify barriers and break through them to improve their quality of life and relationships.
My approach
I listen carefully to understand each client's unique challenges and use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and an analytical approach-connecting the dots-to help break through those barriers.
My focus
I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families facing major depression, work and life stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, and those struggling to find their way through life's journey.
My communication style
Creating a safe, trusting, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment is essential to me. This allows clients to engage in open dialogue and feel truly supported.
My journey to therapy
Coming from a family of five children, we always supported each other through tough times. Helping others has been a lifelong passion that brings me fulfillment and purpose. It's why I do this work.
My goals for you
I believe being a good listener is key to understanding what you want to work through, identifying your goals, and taking meaningful steps toward achieving them.
My first session with you
During our first session, I'll get to know who you are, what you hope to accomplish, and how we can work together to reach your desired outcomes.
Education
I earned my Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University, which laid the foundation for my clinical practice and commitment to helping others.
