She speaks English and Spanish and guides clients through hard moments with calm, straightforward support.

Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be a place where people can say what they think and feel without judgment. The work centers on small, achievable steps rather than quick fixes. In sessions she uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs, including client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and mindfulness practices.
These tools help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build new responses, and manage strong emotions with simpler skills. Liliana also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help clients clarify goals and take realistic next steps. That combination can be useful when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by change.
Her style is direct and compassionate. She encourages people to set practical goals and try short exercises between sessions. The focus is on steady progress and learning skills that fit daily life.
How Liliana’s Methods Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what the client says matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and ease stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try a few techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences guide which methods are used.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send brief updates, practice skills between sessions, or check in on a difficult day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
