Lilly Larson, LCSW

I'm glad you're here! I am a Texas-based therapist and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, Texas, and Utah. I specialize in anxiety, complex trauma, life-transitions (parenting, college-bound, military-to-civilian, etc), and relationships (with yourself, romantic partner, family, etc). I utilize evidence-based therapy modalities with every client - but my approach and which modalities I use are based on your needs and goals for therapy. The evidenced-based modalities I utilized are tailored to what's bringing you to therapy and what you're hoping to get out of it. Some of the common therapy models I use are trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy especially with couples and families (EFT). I believe that therapy should be a stigma-free, safe space where you're able to learn new tools and strategies to use outside of sessions, too! I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds but most often my clients are Millennials (or Gen-Z) who already believe in the benefits of therapy, even if they're nervous to start therapy themselves. My clients are often feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out - or life is really life-ing and they are looking for some professional support to navigate through. I also work with clients who want to improve their relationship with themselves, their partner, and/or their family. Therapy is a safe, stigma-free space. I believe that while tears are pretty common in therapy, laughing shouldn't be uncommon either. Therapy might leave you with a vulnerability hang-over sometimes, but it should also feel like a breath of fresh air, and a weight lifting off your shoulders, too! Let's talk therapy goals: You are the expert here! It's your life, these are your therapy sessions, so you set the goals and I bring the evidence-based strategies and years of experience to come alongside you as we work towards your goals together. I also want to make sure I provide you with new tools and strategies that you can use to work towards your goals outside of sessions, too! My goal is to help you reach your therapy goals and work myself out of a job - whether that's in a few sessions, months, or years based on what you need out of therapy.
