About Dia
LCPC in Illinois with 13 years of clinical experience, Dia Lieberenz works with people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship and life-change challenges. She uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to help clients address problems like depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, trauma, and parenting strain. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
Dia frames clients as experts on their own lives. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness to guide conversations. In sessions she listens closely, helps identify workable goals, and practices skills that reduce distress in daily life.
She works with a broad range of concerns, including grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and caregiver strain. She also supports people dealing with social anxiety, panic attacks, isolation, and compassion fatigue. Conversations look at symptoms and the life context that affects them.
Practical tools are a core part of the work. Clients can expect to learn strategies for mood regulation, coping with panic or anxiety, and managing addictive urges. Behavioral experiments and mindful exercises are used to test what helps and what does not.
Dia emphasizes collaboration when setting goals. She helps clients weigh options, track progress, and adjust methods if something isn't working. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats before booking a first appointment.

How her approaches work in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on behavior over trying to eliminate every difficult feeling.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It involves practical exercises and homework to try new ways of responding to anxiety, panic, or low mood.
Mindfulness practices teach attention and grounding techniques that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotion regulation. These are brief exercises that can be practiced between sessions to support day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying strategies and adjusting them if they do not fit.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, since specific delivery options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering sessions that match a client's schedule. Ask about formats when you complete the matching questionnaire to learn how sessions can be organized to suit your routine.
