About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Palacios is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career shifts, and coping with major life changes. She also offers coaching around motivation and life purpose.
She approaches sessions in a respectful, straightforward way. Conversations focus on what matters now - problems at work, coping after illness, or rebuilding confidence after abuse. She uses practical talk and goal-focused steps rather than vague language or long theory explanations.
Her practice draws on client-centered methods that keep the client's perspective central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used when thinking patterns are getting in the way of action. Motivational Interviewing techniques help people reconnect with reasons to change and move forward.
People working with cancer, caregivers under stress, and those facing discrimination or immigration strain are among the additional concerns she lists. Communication problems, family difficulties, forgiveness, and self-love work are also included in her focus areas.
Sessions aim to clarify short-term goals and build concrete coping strategies. She pays attention to cultural context and how it shapes clients' options. The practical tone is aimed at adults who want clear next steps when life feels stalled.
Online approaches and how they work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It involves reflective listening and letting the client's concerns guide each session, which can help when someone needs to sort out values or next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change patterns that keep someone stuck, which can help with low self-esteem or workplace stress.
Motivational Interviewing is a short, conversational method to strengthen a person's own reasons for change. It is useful when someone feels uncertain about committing to a new path or making a life change.
Figuring out the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to keep or change as work progresses.
