About Iliana

Iliana Prieto is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 22 years of experience. She works primarily with Spanish-speaking and bilingual clients. She focuses on relationship strain, grief and loss, self-esteem, motivation, and depression, and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

She uses a Narrative approach to help clients reframe difficult stories and see different possibilities for their lives.

Background and approach

She also draws on Client-Centered methods to offer respectful, empathic listening so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when clients want practical tools for changing thinking and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused ideas guide sessions that center on identifying and naming strong feelings, and Existential perspectives can help people find meaning when they feel stuck.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs. Iliana adapts conversations and plans based on what clients bring and what they hope to change. She aims for clear, compassionate communication and works at a pace people find comfortable.

Iliana is fluent in Spanish and also offers sessions in English for bilingual clients. Her long experience with Spanish-speaking clients informs how she frames questions and examples so they resonate across cultures. Starting is done online through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.

The focus is on making therapy feel accessible and relevant from the first session.

Online session options

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Iliana blends Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to meet different needs. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps them notice other possible stories that feel more helpful. Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful, nonjudgmental listening so people can speak freely and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that can ease symptoms of depression or low motivation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client work together to see which combination of methods fits the client’s goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what the person wants to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible. Video lets for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
