    About Elizabeth

    Dr. Elizabeth Palacios is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career struggles, and major life changes. She also offers coaching-style support for goal setting and personal growth.

    She works in a direct and compassionate way. Conversations are tailored to the person in front of her. She aims to make sessions practical and focused on steps you can try between meetings.

    Her approach draws on several methods, including Motivational Interviewing to build movement toward change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the person's needs, and Solution-Focused Therapy to highlight small workable changes.

    Across two decades of work in Texas, she has supported people dealing with caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, workplace challenges, and discrimination. She also addresses communication issues, immigration-related stress, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.

    Dr. Palacios asks questions, listens closely, and helps clients set realistic goals. She will work with each person to adjust the pace and focus of sessions. Her aim is to help people find clearer direction and greater confidence as they move forward.

  2. How these approaches shape online work

    Dr. Palacios often draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find momentum for change; this approach uses questions and reflection to build motivation and clear next steps. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions to create practical behavior changes. Client-Centered Therapy informs her way of listening, keeping sessions focused on the person's needs and experience.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to emphasize as the work unfolds.

    The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Licensed professionals can use different tools to match the pace and style a person prefers, and Dr. Palacios will help tailor the format and approach to individual needs.
