About Liliana
Liliana Cruz, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia, has seven years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She describes her work as person-centered and solution-focused, using cognitive-behavioral strategies alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based tools to help clients find clearer options and practical coping skills.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She looks at patterns and beliefs that get in the way, and she gives feedback and techniques clients can use between sessions. Sessions emphasize concrete skills as well as examining how past experiences influence current reactions.
Clients who bring relationship and family-related worries can expect discussions about communication, boundaries, and attachment patterns. Liliana also addresses issues connected to adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress in individual work.
She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods appear in session as values clarification, behavioral experiments, emotion regulation skills, and present-moment attention exercises.
Liliana practices in Virginia and conducts therapy in English. She notes experience working with people affected by trauma, and she integrates practical strategies aimed at symptom reduction and improved daily functioning. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that aligns with those values. It helps when worry or avoidance prevents everyday goals and when people want to act despite difficult thoughts or feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses behavioral experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment attention and simple breathing or awareness practices. It is often used to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation in stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, values-based action, or mindful awareness.
