About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Pacheco is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, practical approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Elizabeth speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and respectful.
She centers sessions on the person in front of her, listening first to understand each individual’s story. She uses goal-focused methods to break problems into manageable steps.
How Elizabeth works
That can look like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building emotion skills, or creating small behavior changes that fit daily life. Elizabeth has worked with people navigating grief, trauma, and complex life changes, including end-of-life situations and immigration-related stress. She also brings focused experience with first responder issues and with people facing prejudice or discrimination.
These experiences shape how she tailors practical strategies to each situation. Her work includes attention to relationship dynamics, parenting stress, and non-traditional relationship structures such as polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements. Sessions cover intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, anger, and coping with mood conditions like bipolar disorder.
Conversations are collaborative and down-to-earth. Elizabeth helps clients set clear goals and chooses tools from approaches like client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. She encourages steady, realistic steps toward change.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgment. The therapist listens closely and helps people identify their own goals and values, which can be useful for stress, grief, or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, addiction-related patterns, and managing mood swings by teaching concrete skills to change thoughts and actions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to relate to others. These skills can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and building steadier coping habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may mean mixing strategies so sessions match what the person wants to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face connection and skill work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief updates, quick coping reminders, or continuing work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care.
