“After seeing many different therapists, I didn't think there was a person on earth who would be as patient and understanding as Liora. She walked with me through the maze of my mind and encouraged me to connect with myself. From the very first session, she had more faith in me than I had in myself. Fast forward to years later, I am overly grateful that I met a therapist who not only goes by the book but pours her heart into the process. She held me accountable whenever I made excuses for myself but most of all never gave up on me. She is very professional, kind and caring with only one goal. And that's to ensure her patients get to a place where they look back proudly on their progresses. Thank you, Liora. I'm glad more people will get to experience all that I experienced as one of your many grateful patients.”

Getting to know Liora Lilienthal

On the outside, it might look like you have everything together. You’re responsible, thoughtful, and trying your best to move forward in life. But inside, you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly second-guessing yourself. Maybe anxiety, overthinking, or self-criticism make it hard to trust your decisions. Many of my clients feel pressure to figure out their careers, relationships, and identity all at once. You may feel lost, burned out, or unsure of your next step, but you’re ready to understand yourself better and start building a life that actually feels right for you. I offer a warm but direct approach that blends CBT and DBT tools to help you manage anxiety, build confidence, and break unhelpful patterns. Therapy with me isn’t just about talking — it’s about learning practical skills to regulate emotions, challenge self-criticism, set boundaries, and move forward with clarity. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and enjoy working with clients navigating cultural identity, family expectations, and life transitions. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you're used to handling everything on your own. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can talk openly, explore what’s holding you back, and begin making meaningful changes. If you're ready to feel more grounded and confident in your life, I’d be happy to connect.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach to therapy is both supportive and practical. I primarily use tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which focus on understanding patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building concrete skills to create change. In our work together, we might focus on things like: Developing healthier coping strategies Learning how to set boundaries and communicate more clearly Challenging unhelpful thought patterns Building confidence and emotional resilience While therapy is a space to process difficult experiences, I also believe in staying goal-oriented.
