Cathleen Lilavois

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed in New York with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have worked in the child welfare arena where I provided counseling to children, adolescents and their families around abandonment, trauma, abuse, neglect and the gamut of emotions that surround that population. I have also provided therapy to mothers who have involvement in the child welfare system. Beyond that, I have provided therapy for young adults trying to navigate life and develop a successful plan for their future. I have counseled adults with depression, anxiety and concerns around self-esteem and self-love. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with compassion fatigue. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating major life changes – online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that fits their life and comfort level – via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule. Licensed professionals deliver online therapy, and if a different style or fit is desired, clients can switch therapists at any time. This approach makes therapeutic support more accessible while preserving the core elements of effective treatment.
