Lily Martinez Lomeli, LCSW

Lily Martinez Lomeli is a California-licensed clinician with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and major life changes. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she emphasizes practical coping skills and a strengths-based perspective, helping clients identify resources they already possess while introducing strategies to manage current challenges. She believes each person is the expert on their own story and partners with clients to set meaningful goals, process difficult emotions, and build skills for day-to-day life. Her work also addresses communication problems, social anxiety, and phobia, offering steady support during transitions or times of heightened distress. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and Lily aims to provide respectful, compassionate guidance throughout that journey.

Lily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor care to each individual, adapting pace and focus to fit the client’s needs and preferences. Her approach balances validation of lived experience with practical tools for symptom relief and improved functioning, with an emphasis on collaboration, skill development, and real-world application.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Lily applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering a clear framework for reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. These thought-focused methods help clients notice patterns, test assumptions, and build healthier responses to difficult situations.

She also integrates skills-based strategies that teach practical tools for emotion regulation, anger management, and coping with life changes. These techniques emphasize step-by-step practice so clients can use them in everyday moments when stress or triggers arise.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work, and Lily takes a collaborative stance in determining what fits best. She partners with each client to explore goals, adjust methods over time, and prioritize strategies that match the client’s needs, values, and preferences.

Online therapy with Lily can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from home or work, and integrate therapeutic tools into daily life.
