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 are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and LGBT-related concerns. Dia approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
She frames therapy as a partnership. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the client and to set realistic steps toward change.
Background and approach
She uses clear, practical tools rather than jargon so parents can use them between sessions. Her work often addresses sleep trouble, anger, intimacy-related issues, and addictions. She also helps people cope with grief, life transitions, and career stress.
Caregiver strain, communication problems, guilt, shame, and loneliness are other common topics she supports. Dia draws from several evidence-informed approaches, including acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to reduce distress, manage mood swings, and improve daily functioning.
She offers flexible online session formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fee amounts vary with location and scheduling circumstances.

How Dia Uses Practical Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed actions toward them. It can help people handle difficult emotions while moving toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific tools to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer short check-ins and flexible ways to track progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting routines and changing schedules.
