About Liliana
Liliana Amador is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Liliana speaks English and Spanish and aims to make practical help available to people managing everyday pressures.
She uses clear, straightforward conversations to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small changes that fit into work, family, and daily routines. She draws on client-centered methods so the person's goals lead the work in session.
Liliana also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Mindfulness practices are used sometimes to reduce stress and ground attention in the present moment. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to increase momentum toward change.
Her approach suits people who want practical steps and regular check-ins rather than long theoretical explanations. Liliana aims to break problems into manageable parts and to track progress over time. She encourages clear goals and follows them with measurable actions.
For people who prefer to use Spanish, she can hold sessions in that language. To begin, readers are asked to use the site tools to review online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on the person's own goals and values. Online sessions let the therapist and client work directly on what matters most, with the therapist reflecting concerns and prioritizing the next steps. This approach is useful for stress, low mood, and change-related goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. In an online session, CBT often includes practical homework like noticing thought patterns, trying small behavior experiments, and reviewing results at the next meeting. This helps with anxiety, depression, and recurring negative thinking.
Mindfulness Therapy offers brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These exercises can be guided in a session and practiced between meetings to lower day-to-day stress levels and improve focus.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. Liliana will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or family schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while juggling daily responsibilities.
