About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Palacios is an LPC with 20 years of experience helping people facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career challenges, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with workplace stress, coaching needs, and concerns related to multicultural experiences. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Her style is conversational and focused on practical steps. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the client and then build on strengths. She tailors the discussion and plan to each person's unique situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all program.
Dr. Palacios draws on several well-established methods to guide change. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening space where people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down patterns that keep problems in place and builds new ways of thinking and acting.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of her approach when appropriate. Those methods help people find their own reasons to change and set clear, doable goals. Conversations are directed toward small, practical steps that fit into daily life.
Based in Texas, she brings two decades of work with varied concerns including caregiver stress, cancer-related issues, immigration stresses, and discrimination. She aims to empower people to move toward greater confidence, clearer purpose, and better coping skills.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful space. Online sessions can still center on being heard and on working at your pace, which helps when addressing trauma, self-esteem, or cultural concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments that can be assigned between sessions to practice new skills and track progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjustments are made over time. That choice is collaborative and guided by what helps a person move forward.
The biography does not specify particular session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while focusing on clear, practical steps toward change.
