Lilly Flores

I’m Lilly Flores, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what needs to change.

My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. I’m passionate about helping people better understand themselves, their emotions, and the experiences that have shaped them. I believe that when we develop a deeper understanding of ourselves, we can begin making choices that feel more aligned with who we are and the life we want to create.

I value genuine connection in the therapeutic relationship and want my clients to feel heard, understood, and supported while also gaining tools that can help them create meaningful change in their everyday lives.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I primarily use a person-centered approach because I believe you are the expert on your own experiences. Rather than assuming I know what is best for you, I want to understand your perspective and give you the space to explore what feels most important.

I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help you recognize patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be contributing to distress or keeping you feeling stuck. Together, we can work on developing practical coping skills, challenging unhelpful patterns, and finding healthier ways to navigate difficult emotions and situations.

I believe therapy can offer both a space to feel heard and an opportunity for growth. My goal is to balance compassion and reflection with practical tools so that the work we do together feels meaningful both inside and outside of our sessions.

Our first session is really about getting to know you and beginning to understand what brings you to therapy. You can expect me to ask questions about what you’ve been experiencing, important parts of your history, the challenges you’re currently facing, and what you hope will be different as a result of therapy.

You don’t need to come in knowing exactly what to say or where to begin. We’ll take our time, and you’re welcome to share at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I also want to learn what you need from therapy and what would help you feel supported in our work together.

My hope is that by the end of our first few sessions, you feel that I have a genuine understanding of who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and where you would like to go. From there, we can begin identifying goals and creating an approach to therapy that feels right for you.
