About Liliana

Liliana Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She brings seven years of experience to work that aims to help people find clarity during hard times. Her early focus is on listening closely and offering practical feedback so clients can make decisions with more confidence.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Liliana also supports those dealing with self-esteem concerns and family-related struggles. She adapts methods to each person's needs rather than using the same plan for everyone.

Her work emphasizes a person-centered style that centers the client's goals. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. Sessions often include concrete tools and small experiments to test new habits between meetings.

Liliana also attends to background and life events that shape current problems, such as adoption and foster care history, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and issues around body image and control. She is mindful of how cultural background and faith can influence healing and respects each person's beliefs while working together on goals.

Communication is straightforward in her practice. Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where practical steps are paired with careful listening. People who want to explore change in everyday life may find this approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings arise; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where motivation is low. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy uses present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and build calm, and it pairs well with both ACT and CBT.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than choosing a single plan up front. Sessions can shift over time as new priorities emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try techniques between meetings in real settings and then discuss what worked in the next session. Licensed professionals can help plan practical steps that work with a client's everyday routine.
