Using different email, yes
And it is allowed if you have good reason

Its ok if one is a public account created for a specific purpose. Your stated purpose sounds reasonable to me (but I let you judge based on the TOS)

I quote the relevant parts below, check the original link for changes to this which might occur after my post:

In select and special circumstances, a user may have multiple accounts (see our Fairplay & Community Guidelines for more information).

Fair Play Violations:

Multiple accounts - Having more than one account is not allowed, barring specific circumstances. For example, titled players are automatically entitled to one “public” account, for play in certain prize events hosted either by Lichess or another tournament organiser, and one “private” account, for casual play online whilst still displaying their titled status. Untitled players can create a second account for similar reasons, with some examples including having a private account to hide opening preparation, playing “blindfold” games, or playing games with any other self-imposed impairment.

Thanks! But is it possible to create an account with the same email? Can I ask a moderator?

My son did it, but, suddently LICHESS closed his accounts!
And not only this, but it doesn't permits him to open a new one. He is opening new accounts and, when he is trying to play, they close immediately. WHY?
