02 · In Lilian's own words

What Lilian says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm a therapist with empathy and passion to support the individuals through life's meaningful challenges with experiences of working with depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns and importantly to provide safe space to process any situations. I would like to emphasize that i am not perfect or have all the answer since I believe as a therapist we should be learning constantly. I help clients navigate self-esteem, helping processes mental health with their disability, anger management, task management, family dynamics, challenging cognitive distortions, and communication patterns that may be holding them back.

My approach centers on fostering self-love, exploring life purpose, guidance, and safe space to process thoughts, and expressing all emotions.

I am christian but I am able to honor diverse perspectives and values, including faith-based worldviews, and I'm committed to creating a respectful, affirming space where you feel truly seen and understood. Iam also able to provide service in Korean. Whether you're seeking support through a difficult season or working toward deeper personal growth, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and genuine care.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Lilian practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Lilian's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Lilian at this point.

2. Naming Lilian specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Lilian is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Lilian.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Lilian

Built from what Lilian actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Lilian's - Lilian has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Korean. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Lilian's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 8 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Lilian. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
