About Tilaya
Tilaya Bradford-Hollins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to cope with life changes and feel steadier day to day. She uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions.
Clients work on communication skills, building self-love, and stronger ways to handle shame, guilt, or impulsivity. The work often addresses attachment issues and feelings of abandonment that show up in close relationships.
Background and approach
Tilaya blends several approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered methods. That mix helps with mood problems, post-traumatic stress, and adjusting after separation or loss.
Her practice includes support for practical life problems too, such as caregiver stress, money or career worry, and social isolation. Sessions aim to leave people with real skills for coping and clearer next steps. With 11 years of experience, Tilaya keeps conversations respectful and down-to-earth.
People work together to set goals that match their values and everyday life. She provides in-person care for those in Illinois.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current feelings and behavior. It helps when worries about abandonment or trust keep showing up in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills for noticing thoughts without getting stuck and choosing actions that match your values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes, which often reduces anxiety and improves mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try strategies that fit. Together they adjust methods over time so the sessions match what actually helps.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill coaching and emotional work. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing processing between sessions and quick skill reminders. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
