About Iliana
Iliana Prieto is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida. She brings 22 years of experience helping Spanish-speaking and bilingual clients navigate relationship concerns, family conflict, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Iliana emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapy room to help people take steps forward.
She shapes conversations and plans to fit each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions focus on practical ways to improve communication, manage loss, and build motivation and confidence. The goal is steady progress through realistic, manageable steps.
Iliana has long experience working with Spanish speakers and conducts therapy in both English and Spanish. She notes a preference for Spanish-speaking or bilingual clients because she finds fluent communication clearer and more effective in those sessions.
Her approach draws on methods that center the client, look at emotions in relationships, and consider how personal stories shape meaning. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting what matters, and suggesting small changes that can make daily life feel easier.
Taking the first step often feels hard, and Iliana acknowledges the courage it takes. She asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions based on her availability.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, focusing on listening, reflection, and supporting each person to find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to set goals at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete tools to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT suits people wanting practical strategies for depression, low self-esteem, or motivation challenges.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotions that arise in close relationships and can help people learn how feelings shape interactions and repairs. It is useful when relationship dynamics or family emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then shape a plan using one or more methods. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or making participation possible from different locations. Ask about language options and scheduling when you reach out so practical details match your needs.
