About Liliana
Liliana Palacios is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience supporting people through relationship struggles, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
She welcomes clients who want to better understand patterns that create conflict or disconnection and those seeking practical strategies to manage stress, addictive behaviors, parenting challenges, or career-related concerns. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she draws on a long history of community mental health and crisis support to offer culturally aware care.
Palacios combines a warm, straightforward approach with evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and existential perspectives. She often focuses on communication, intimacy, and attachment-related patterns while also addressing issues like ADHD, caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image, and grief.
Her work emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals, and she offers tools, reflection, and guided skill-building to help them move toward clearer priorities and improved coping. Originally from Mexico City, Palacios trained in counseling while raising her family and has extensive experience with survivors of trauma, domestic violence, and caregivers of loved ones with autism or age-related needs.
Her practice aims to create space for honest exploration, respectful challenge, and steady support as people navigate change and rebuild connection.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, accept difficult emotions, and commit to measurable actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful during major life changes and grief. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship to help clients explore their experience and build self-directed growth.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to understand goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and will adapt methods over time if another approach seems like a better fit. Clients participate in setting priorities and evaluating progress so treatment evolves responsively.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or work and to use a mix of live conversation and written check-ins when that supports ongoing skill practice and reflection.
