Greetings! I'm Lirany, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the Bay Area of Northern California. With 7 years of experience in the mental health field, I've dedicated myself to aiding individuals, families, and couples in navigating personal challenges, mental health conditions, and interpersonal conflicts. My therapeutic approach is grounded in holistic care, infused with compassion, trauma-informed practices, and a deep commitment to placing clients at the center of their healing journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we'll start by getting to know each other. We'll explore what led you to seek therapy, pinpoint the challenges you're facing, and outline your short-term and long-term goals. This groundwork will help me tailor our sessions to your needs. My priority is to create a safe and supportive environment for you as we navigate your journey towards healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My clinical approach draws from my extensive education in holistic psychology, complemented by over a decade of honing a diverse array of self-mastery skills. Central to my practice are empathy, compassion, and a deep attunement to my clients' needs, fostering self-awareness, healing, and personal growth.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I find deep satisfaction in supporting adults who have courageously embarked on their journey towards healing through therapy. My clients are driven by a desire to deepen their self-awareness, understand their behavior patterns, and embrace change to foster healing, enhance relationships, and cultivate lives filled with greater happiness and fulfillment.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a powerful tool for tackling anxiety, stress, and negative thinking that holds us back in life. My CBT approach is all about being mindful and practical. In our sessions, I help you see how your thoughts affect your feelings and actions. Then, I teach you simple techniques and exercises to use every day. These tools help you break free from harmful thought patterns and adopt healthier ways of thinking, leading to a happier and more fulfilling life.
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy offers a valuable lens for understanding the lasting impact of our early childhood bonds with parents and caregivers on our present-day relationships. It delves into how attachment patterns shape our interactions, particularly in romantic and interpersonal dynamics. If you're ready to uncover these patterns and eager to shed avoidant, anxious, or ambivalent behaviors, this therapy offers both insight and the empowerment to cultivate more secure connections. In my approach, I start by teaching you about attachment styles and how they affect your behavior. Together, we'll explore your actions and thoughts, finding ways to improve your beliefs and create healthier relationships with partners and others in your life.
Multicultural
Multicultural therapy celebrates diversity and recognizes the unique cultural backgrounds of individuals. It acknowledges that our cultural identities influence our experiences, beliefs, and behaviors. When implementing this modality with clients, I strive to understand and respect their cultural perspectives while helping them navigate challenges and foster personal growth. By embracing diversity and promoting cultural sensitivity, my goal is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where clients feel understood and empowered to address their concerns.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy is all about learning through doing. In sessions, I facilitate exercises and activities that help clients explore their emotions and experiences. These could include things like art, role-playing, or guided imagery. By immersing themselves in these experiences, clients gain new insights and perspectives, leading to personal growth and healing. Experiential therapy offers a hands-on approach to therapy that can be both empowering and transformative.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused therapy is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. In this type of therapy, I work with clients to identify strengths, resources, and past successes that can be applied to current challenges. Instead of diving into the root causes of issues, solution-focused therapy emphasizes practical strategies for achieving desired outcomes. My goal is to empower clients to take action and make positive changes in their lives. Length of treatment is typically 8-12 sessions depending on the type of goal that is wished to be achieved.
