About Liliana

Liliana Amador welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or the impact of past trauma. She writes in clear, calm language and focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier and more capable. Liliana is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in Illinois and offering sessions in English and Spanish.

Her sessions begin with listening. She creates space for people to share what’s most pressing, without judgment.

Background and approach

From there she helps set small, achievable goals and identifies steps to build confidence and coping skills. Liliana uses familiar, straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and lived experience.

Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and focus when anxiety feels intense. She sees therapy as a collaborative process. People work with her to try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Sessions can include problem-solving, skill practice, and reflections on progress. With three years of professional experience, Liliana aims to make therapy understandable and concrete. She supports people who want practical strategies for mood, self-esteem, and life transitions, and she speaks both English and Spanish to meet client needs.

Online support

Approaches that fit online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to build trust and identify what matters most, which helps when someone needs support making changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. In online sessions this means practicing skills, setting small homework tasks, and checking progress between meetings to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple breathing and awareness exercises. These techniques can be used during sessions and practiced between appointments to ease stress and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor therapy to what actually helps.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can help maintain momentum between sessions and allow for written reflection or quick support during the week.
