About Liliana

Liliana Amador is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She greets clients with a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. She creates a space where people can talk about hard things and be heard.

Sessions are meant to be straightforward and respectful, with attention to what the person needs in the moment.

02

How Liliana works

Liliana encourages small, achievable changes that build confidence over time. Her practice draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals in focus. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier responses.

Mindfulness skills are introduced to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. Liliana brings three years of professional experience as an Illinois LCSW. That background has included supporting people after trauma and helping them regain a sense of control.

She meets clients in either English or Spanish. When starting, Liliana works with each person to set clear, realistic aims for therapy. Appointments emphasize collaboration and practical tools that can be used between sessions.

The overall aim is to help people regain steadiness and move toward the life they want.

Online support options

Approaches for change in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's goals. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering support and reflection so they can clarify what matters most and decide on next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions the therapist helps identify patterns that increase distress and practices alternative ways of thinking and behaving that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Liliana will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods as the work evolves. This collaborative process helps pick strategies that feel useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
