About Iliana
Iliana Prieto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 22 years of professional experience. She works primarily with Spanish-speaking or bilingual clients and provides services in both Spanish and English. Her main focus areas include relationship concerns, family conflict, grief and loss, self-esteem, motivation, and depression.
Prieto keeps conversation direct and practical. She helps people name difficult emotions and identify recurring patterns that get in the way of connection or well-being. Sessions often include talking through recent events, reviewing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trying small changes between meetings.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and emotional responses in relationships. She also uses client-centered methods that focus on each person's experience and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to challenge thoughts and build new habits.
Prieto has worked for more than two decades with Spanish-speaking clients in Florida. That experience shapes how she responds to cultural and family dynamics that affect relationships and grief. She encourages clear goals and practical steps people can test between sessions.
New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and rates vary with location. International clients are accepted, but clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships. It helps people recognize attachment patterns and practice new ways of reaching for connection. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's perspective and uses reflective listening to deepen self-understanding and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps decide when to emphasize emotions, when to practice skills, and when to reframe stories about stressful events.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help when a quieter space is easier to find or when video is difficult due to bandwidth. Licensed professionals can work with clients across locations, but clients should verify time zones and any regional considerations before scheduling.
