About Liliana
LCSW licensed in Illinois with 3 years of clinical experience, Liliana Amador helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and works with individuals who want practical ways to feel steadier and more motivated.
Amador uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and reflect what matters most to each person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Sessions include straightforward conversation and collaborative goal-setting rather than long lectures or technical jargon.
Her style favors short-term, solution-focused steps and motivational interviewing techniques to build momentum. Clients can expect to set small, concrete goals and review progress between sessions. Mindfulness tools are introduced when they fit the person's day-to-day routine and attention needs.
In sessions she emphasizes practical skills for managing stress and anxiety, such as grounding exercises, thought records, and activity planning. For trauma and abuse concerns she uses trauma-informed approaches that prioritize the client’s pace and control over the process. Work on self-esteem often combines cognitive work with behavioral experiments to test new beliefs.
Amador asks people who want to begin to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the therapist follows the client's lead. In online work this means sessions center on what the person brings each week and the therapist responds with questions and summaries to clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. Delivered remotely, CBT commonly uses short worksheets, activity plans, and homework that fit into daily life to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity. These practices can be brief and repeated between sessions to build steadiness in day-to-day routines.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then try approaches that match those needs. Progress is reviewed regularly and methods are adjusted together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work is often useful when people need to fit appointments into work, school, or caregiving schedules, prefer shorter check-ins some weeks, or want to use worksheets and in-between practice without extra travel.
