About Lillian

Lillian Ojetta Brown is a licensed social worker with 30 years of clinical experience. She offers calm, steady guidance for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and LGBT-related concerns. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping clients find daily coping strategies and clearer ways to connect with others.

She focuses on relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and career stress. Lillian also addresses sleep problems, attention challenges like ADHD, and compassion fatigue that affects caregivers and professionals.

Background and approach

Her work includes support for those dealing with chronic illness, aging and geriatric issues, and life transitions. Her background as an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - in Michigan shapes a strengths-based, realistic style. Sessions tend to emphasize small, manageable changes rather than sweeping plans.

That makes progress easier to notice from week to week. Lillian pays attention to how family history and communication patterns affect present problems. She helps people talk through family of origin issues, forgiveness struggles, and isolation or loneliness.

She also provides support for clients facing prejudice, HIV/AIDS related concerns, or trauma after injury. Her practice is English-language and serves clients in Michigan and beyond, including international clients. The focus is on helping people get unstuck, clarify priorities, and build steady coping habits that fit everyday life.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Many evidence-based therapies focus on changing thoughts and behaviors to ease symptoms and improve daily function. Cognitive approaches help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new, more effective ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Behavioral techniques focus on small repeated actions, like sleep routines or gradual exposure to feared situations, that build steadier functioning.

Another helpful method emphasizes rebuilding communication and problem-solving in relationships and family interactions. That approach teaches clear ways to state needs, set boundaries, and repair conflicts, which is useful for parenting concerns, intimacy-related struggles, and family problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they bring. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is and isn't working.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from Michigan or other locations, including international clients.
