About Elizabeth

Dr. Elizabeth Palacios brings 20 years of counseling experience to work with people navigating trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, career challenges, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes coaching-style support alongside therapeutic care to help clients build confidence and practical coping skills. Her practice also attends to issues such as cancer-related stress, caregiver strain, multicultural concerns, and the impacts of prejudice and discrimination.

Using a collaborative, respectful stance, Dr. Palacios adapts conversation and treatment plans to each person’s needs.

Her approach centers on clear goals and active tools that clients can use between sessions, blending cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and motivation-focused strategies. Licensed as an LPC in Texas (TX LPC 20050), she communicates in English and accepts international clients.

Prospective clients can expect an empathetic, goal-oriented partner focused on empowerment and gradual change.

Integrating goal-focused approaches with online care

Dr. Palacios commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches when working with clients online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping with stressful life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore values, emotions, and goals at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works together with each client to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process includes setting practical goals and adjusting strategies as progress is made so therapy stays relevant to the client’s priorities.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes scheduling more flexible for varied lifestyles and time zones. These online formats allow ongoing access to licensed professionals and permit continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, supporting consistent work on goals and skill building across daily life.
