Liliana Cruz, LPC

Liliana Cruz is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Virginia with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, family concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Her profile lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, and caregiver stress. Liliana speaks English and bases her practice in Virginia.

She uses a person-centered way of working paired with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding. Mindfulness exercises and acceptance-based ideas are also part of how she helps people manage hard feelings.

Liliana describes a collaborative style. She offers straightforward feedback and helps people try out tools between sessions. That can mean learning grounding skills for anxiety, setting boundaries around family stress, or problem-solving next steps after trauma.

Her work attends to the influence of culture and life experience. Liliana notes a background that adds cultural awareness to conversations about identity, relationships, and belief systems. She also recognizes how caregiving roles or blended-family dynamics change what someone might need from therapy.

Practical goals tend to guide her sessions. Clients and therapist together set what to work on, try specific skills, and check progress. People looking for a counselor who blends client-centered conversation with cognitive and mindfulness techniques may find this approach straightforward and focused.
