About Dia

Dia Lieberenz is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD. Dia centers her work on each person's strengths and supports them as they take steps toward change.

She believes people are the experts in their own lives and that therapy is a collaborative effort.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize practical skills and clear goals. Dia works to help clients notice patterns, try small experiments, and build routines that reduce overwhelm and increase functioning. Her background includes work with depression, bipolar-related concerns, trauma and grief, PTSD, and challenges common to LGBT people.

She also helps with caregiver stress, communication problems, panic attacks, social anxiety, and trouble sleeping. Dia draws on several well-established approaches to match the work to a person's needs. In the room she aims for a direct and compassionate style.

She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and practices new skills during and between sessions. The focus is on what changes are realistic now and what tools will fit daily life. Dia offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

People who want straightforward, strengths-based support and practical strategies may find her approach a good match.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new, more effective skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage sleep. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus for people who feel overwhelmed.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Dia will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and everyday routines. That means trying techniques in sessions, adjusting them between meetings, and keeping the plan practical and grounded in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can help maintain momentum between longer visits and offer a flexible way to share progress or questions during the week.
