About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Pacheco is an LPC with more than 21 years of clinical practice helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and complex relationship concerns. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and dialectical approaches to create practical, skills-based plans that reflect each person's values and day-to-day realities.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Grounded in multicultural sensitivity, she brings experience supporting first responders, immigrant communities, and people facing end-of-life and hospice needs.

Elizabeth is attentive to the ways prejudice, discrimination, and non-traditional relationship structures can shape mental health, and she adapts interventions to respect diverse identities and cultural backgrounds. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she offers services in both languages for clients in Arizona and holds licensure credentials including CO LPC 4902 and AZ LPC LPC-19167.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical coping strategies, and helping clients set achievable goals during periods of transition and change.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy Options



Elizabeth uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy and collaborative understanding to help clients explore their values and personal strengths. Additionally, elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are used to teach practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when needed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Clients and therapist review progress together and adjust strategies to ensure treatment feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier for clients to access consistent care while balancing work, family, or other responsibilities, and they allow for ongoing skills practice between live sessions.
