My name is Iliana Rivera, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the Central Valley, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix. I work with children, adults, couples, and families, specializing in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and a variety of life stressors. I use Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. This multimodal approach allows me to tailor therapy to each client's unique needs and collaboratively work toward their individual goals.
My approach
I use a multimodal approach to therapy, which enables me to address the specific needs of each client. This includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, among others. This approach helps me create a non-judgmental, safe environment where trust can grow, encouraging clients to improve their satisfaction and overall quality of life.
My focus
My experience in mental health and life has prepared me to work effectively with children, adults, couples, and families. My style and approach are well-suited for anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or various life stressors.
My communication style
I have a laid-back, calm, and easy-to-talk-to personality. I strive to create a non-judgmental and safe space that fosters trust and rapport.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a mental health therapist began after my discharge from the military.
