    About Elizabeth

    Elizabeth Pacheco is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. Elizabeth speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful.

    She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Conversations focus on what matters to each person and on simple steps that can make daily life easier.

    Elizabeth has long experience supporting people who face prejudice, immigration stresses, and complicated relationship structures such as polyamory and other non-monogamous arrangements. She also has worked with first responders and provided hospice and end-of-life counseling, bringing practical care to heavy situations.

    Sessions cover intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with big life changes. She also addresses LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood conditions like bipolar disorder. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

    Clients can expect a warm, down-to-earth style. Elizabeth prioritizes listening first, then helping people build small, achievable plans. Her experience and bilingual ability aim to make therapy accessible for diverse backgrounds.

  2. Approaches that translate well to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and why. It uses gentle questions and reflections to build motivation and plan steps forward, which can be useful for addiction, behavior change, and managing motivation in daily life.

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the person lead the pace. This approach supports emotional processing, relationship concerns, and self-esteem by making space to be heard and understood.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for staying consistent and practicing new skills between appointments.
