About Liliana
Liliana Amador welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by stress and anxiety. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence for adults who want help managing depression, building self-esteem, or processing trauma and abuse. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Illinois as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW).
Liliana keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. She helps clients set clear goals, notice unhelpful thinking, and try new steps between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and practical, with room to name hard feelings and find small, steady changes. Her approach pulls from several methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her tailor support to someone who needs coping skills, thought work, or motivation to make a change.
With three years of professional experience, Liliana concentrates on building trust quickly so people can begin problem-solving. She aims to make sessions useful from the start, whether someone needs short-term strategies or a longer process of recovery and growth. In the first meetings she and a client will look at immediate concerns and agree on next steps.
People leave with practical ideas to try between sessions and a clearer sense of how therapy can help over time.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist reflects what is said and helps the client name feelings and priorities, which can be useful for people who need empathy and clarity as they start change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques can support stress management and make other therapeutic work feel more grounded.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins; live chat and text messaging provide flexible ways to stay connected between meetings. These options expand access and help people use therapy in a way that fits their daily routines.
