About Judy

Judy Lilley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings 17 years of clinical experience to her work. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and challenges with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Judy emphasizes a holistic view that considers mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each individual's needs and goals. Her practice also addresses later-life concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, along with deeper existential topics like emptiness, life purpose, forgiveness, and guilt or shame.

Judy approaches clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she aims to support and empower those seeking greater fulfillment. She frames seeking help as a courageous first step and works collaboratively to design practical strategies for coping with life changes and reducing distress.

Using CBT and Solution-Focused Strategies Online

Judy integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete coping skills. CBT emphasizes recognizing and shifting thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, while Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, present-focused steps and goals to create change and move past obstacles.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Judy works with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She aims to tailor sessions so clients can try techniques, reflect on what helps, and adjust the plan as they progress toward clearer priorities and improved daily functioning.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support access for people in different locations within Texas, and allow people to use the format that feels most comfortable for practicing skills between sessions.
