About Dia

Dia Lieberenz is an Illinois-licensed clinical professional counselor with 13 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, mood disorders, LGBT-related issues, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy from the belief that each person knows their own story best and that existing strengths are central to making meaningful change. Dia emphasizes empowerment and practical support while clients take the steps toward greater wellbeing.

Her work blends collaborative listening with evidence-based methods to address life transitions, relationship and family challenges, trauma and grief, substance-related concerns, sleep problems, and difficulties with self-esteem or intimacy. She also supports people managing caregiver stress, communication struggles, panic and social anxiety, and compassion fatigue.

Dia aims to create a respectful space where clients can explore values, build skills, and move toward goals at a pace that feels right for them.

Practical approaches and online delivery



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility so clients can pursue a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs. Over time techniques may be combined or adapted as progress and priorities emerge.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to be integrated into busy lives while maintaining a regular rhythm of sessions and skill practice.
