About Tilaya

Tilaya Bradford-Hollins is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, and major life changes.

Tilaya focuses on practical skills that make daily life easier. She talks with clients about coping strategies, communication, and ways to rebuild trust after hurt. Sessions aim to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values.

Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and financial strain. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, mood shifts, and post-traumatic stress. Conversations often include problem-solving for workplace pressures and social anxiety.

Tilaya uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue and the person. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-focused work to repair relationship patterns. She also brings in client-centered listening and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when needed.

Clients can expect straightforward talk, practical tools, and attention to how home, work, and community affect wellbeing. The goal is clearer decision making and steadier coping rather than quick fixes. To begin, people select a matching step through the service and schedule an initial appointment.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what they value and take small, committed steps toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect trust and communication; it can help with abandonment, relationship strain, and reconnecting after hurt.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a skill-focused method for a few sessions and then shifting to attachment work if relationship patterns become the focus.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to doing homework between meetings, practicing skills in daily life, and checking progress in regular appointments. Ask about the available online formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
