About Lily
Lily Divino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, life changes, and compassion fatigue. Lily also supports those dealing with panic, post-traumatic stress, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches in sessions. That can look like talking through what feels most urgent, learning specific skills to manage symptoms, and practicing new ways of responding in stressful situations. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to individual needs.
Lily draws on trauma-informed care and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and find manageable next steps. A strengths-based outlook highlights practical abilities and resources a person already has.
Her background includes work in healthcare and community settings, which shapes how she understands stress, burnout, and systems-level challenges. She pays attention to multicultural issues and identity when those matters affect a person’s well-being.
In early sessions, Lily focuses on what feels most pressing and on small, useful changes. Over time she helps people build skills for better coping and clearer decision making. She works in English and practices in New York.

How evidence-based techniques work in online sessions
Many of the approaches Lily uses focus on practical changes you can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify values and increases willingness to try small, achievable steps toward goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lily will talk through options with each person and adapt methods based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. That collaboration helps pick techniques that feel doable and relevant to day-to-day life.
