Liliana Cruz, LPC

Liliana Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with seven years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work includes related issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family strains, caregiver stress, and body image struggles.

She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance. Sessions focus on clear tools and small shifts that can change daily patterns.

In sessions she looks at unhelpful thoughts and repeated behaviors. She helps people notice what matters to them and take steps that match those values. Conversations often include skill practice, short exercises, and actionable steps to try between meetings.

Liliana pays attention to how family history and relationship roles affect current stress. She supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and the stress of caregiving for older relatives. She also addresses co-occurring concerns such as substance use when relevant.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. The focus is on useful change rather than labels. Liliana works in English and centers practical strategies adults can use at home and in everyday life.
